So, Robin Williams is dead.

The police suspect it was suicide.

And it makes me think about Robin Williams and how he seemed.

Robin Williams seemed to be a happy guy who loved to laugh and crack jokes. He was in many movies that were funny and some that were full of meaning and serious issues.

He filled all of our lives with happiness. He was an amazing man.

But it also makes me think of what y'all are going through.

Suicidal people don't usually seem suicidal. They seem to smile the brightest and act the happiest. They make other people happy.

But they aren't happy.

They just learn not to show it in fear of people judging them and not realizing that what they need.

Robin Williams is famous. I don't say was because he'll always be famous. Whether he's dead or alive, he is famous.

A ton of people commit suicide a year, let alone everyday.

I get that Robin Williams is getting this so much publicity because he's famous.

But Robin was also just a funny guy who knew how to make people laugh.

Robin Williams is my idol.

Robin Williams liked to make people happy or else he wouldn't have continued what he was doing even when he only seemed to be happy.

He was everything I want to be.

I want to be funny enough to make people laugh. I love making people laugh. I enjoy seeing the complete happiness in someone's face when they laugh. I want to make people smile. I want to make people laugh. I want to make people experience true joy in the amount of time that I am with them.

That's my goal in life.

I want other people to enjoy the time that they have with me. The time that people spend with me I want to be some of the best moments of that day, week, or even year.

I want to make people happy.

That's all I want to do.

I want to make people happy, even if I'm not.

I wish I was half as funny or kind or nice or seemingly happy as Robin Williams.

When I die, I want to be able to say that I made at least one person happy.

I want to say that I saved someone's life with my jokes.

And with people's laughter comes the happiness of a generation. The happiness of a generation is what people will look back on and see that we weren't doomed.

That we had problems, but we made the best of them.

Sure, they'll look back at the bad things we did.

They'll look back at school shootings.

At wars.

At homophobia.

At racism.

At bigotry.

At the financial crisis.

They'll look back on everything we did wrong.

And they'll learn from our mistakes. They'll learn that the human race is flawed and selfish and so, so, so sad.

But they'll also look back at our comedians and the people who did something.

The ones who helped someone.
