Reminiscence

Un

There were three times in my life that I had been saddened by the death of a person I hadn't met. The first was in the summer of 2009. I was about 10 I think. It was the king of pop himself, Michael Jackson. I cant tell you why I was so upset really. Maybe it was because I loved the scene in Thirteen going on 30 where they danced Thriller. Or maybe it was because in the second grade I sang Rockin' Robin during a school assembly. I just remember crying and messaging my friend Trisha on yahoo mail. What else was a fifth grader supposed to do? I still believe he is alive sometimes and just lives on an island in the Caribbean. Maybe that's just a strange coping mechanism.

The second was the summer of 2013. Cory Monteith or "Finn Hudson". I was the biggest Glee fan ever or "gleek" as they call it. I found out at three a.m. at my Nana's house in Virginia. I live in California which is three hours behind Virginia. I immediately called my best friend Lola in shock. My first real celebrity crush was dead and I had a feeling of emptiness. The next day my family went to breakfast at Ihop. I wore sunglasses inside like a lunatic because the tears kept falling. Still haven't really gotten over that one. Finchel was my OTP. Glee was never the same.

And lastly Robin Williams. The reason I was so upset that time was because his movies just inspired me. His voice was almost like a muse leading you to brilliance. Sounds super corny when I say this about someone I've never met but he had an impact on my life. They all did.

What I am trying to say is you don't really realize how much a person has left a mark on your life until they are gone. How much their words or existence has made your life a little better.

But these losses didn't prepare me at all for the death of someone I actually knew.

December 22, 2014.

This day will live with me forever. 

Haven't been the same person since.

I just wish I can find something to make me forget.
