if i die young

This is so sad. A total stranger died and I am so affected by it. Is it my connection to the Glee Club? Is it my past that relates to it? Is it because Corey was a genuine soul and it was so clear that it shined through to his character on Glee? Is it because Corey & Lea were in love for real, and we could all see on and off screen? I don't know why exactly, maybe it's everything all at once... but this hits in me such a way that I've never felt for a celebrity. Michael Jackson was a close second, I remember balling my eyes out at his remembrance ceremony... but this, this entire episode honoring Corey was literally a cry fest. I don't care for anyone's judgement because I cried for an hour straight for a man I never knew nor met. I did it, and I shed many more tears than just that hour. God, this poor man.. he was happy, he had all he wanted, and yet... addiction was just under the surface and no one really saw it coming. He hid it well.

I am so sorry Lea. You are deeply a strong woman. I want your strength and ability to move forward. I know you are a wreck on the inside, most likely completely demolished... but you did it and trudged along. You are a rare gem among cheap rocks.
