In two days (📅) , it will be exactly 8 years since Christina Grimmie posted her first video/cover on youtube.
It is kinda weird to think that tbh.
Like the first video I saw of hers was party in the USA which my cousin showed to me, and that was like 7 years ago. Time flies.
5 years and 11 months was all we got but that was enough for the world to be moved.
She may not have been mainstream, and everyone may not have known her, but the ones who did are forever grateful they did.
When I heard she died, it felt like something stabbed me in the heart. I felt like....just like I couldn't do anything.
I bet she did not have any idea that in the future she make 2 albums (in which one of them was almost as successful as an Adele album), three EP's, go on tour with SELENA GOMEZ TWICE, , get signed to some of the biggest record labels in the world, reach 3 million subscribers on youtube (almost 4 million), preform on Dancing with the stars TWICE, get a 4 chair push on THE VOICE, be on Adam Levine's team, make it all the way to the finals and end up third place with offers to be signed to LIL WAYNE and ADAM LEVINE'S labels, be the host of an American idol tour show, tour in Europe, Philippines, Singapore, tour with Rachel Platten, open AN ENTIRE IHEART RADIO MUSIC FESTIVAL, be one of the lead characters in a MOVIE, host a DISNEY SHOW and much more . In a couple of days, that video.....that cover of "Don't Wanna Be Torn" will reach it's 8th anniversary. She was a shy 15 year old who posted a video on youtube for the sake of it, and now she is one of the most successful musicians from youtube......ever.
I remember a year ago, the hashtag was going around of #7yearsofzeldaxlove64. I remember all the support other fandoms like Arianators, Beliebers, Harmonizers, Mixers, etc were giving us.
She didn't live long but she died doing what she loved. She got so far in life in such little time but it was ended so soon.
She died all of this because someone thought " if I can't have her, no one can ".
But in the end, I'm glad this girl's dream came true...
..........Christina, I hope we'll meet one day.🌧💚
Love, me.
