…NOBODY…

This is my first post on here. Yet I wanted to speak from my heart about something.

I’ve been an A7X fan for about a year now, yet their music feels heavily nostalgic to me, it’s strange, because I’ve never listened to them before until last year.

But this post is specifically about Jimmy. I don’t know why, but out of every famous person who has passed away, Jimmy’s death just hits the hardest for me. Sure there’s other celebrities who I wish I could have met, and I wish I could have met Jimmy as well, yet with him it’s different. I miss him like missing your best friend who you haven’t seen in years. Someone you grew up with, laughed with, cried with, told stories with. Someone who meant the world to you.

And yet I feel stupid for feeling this way, I was only 4 when he passed, so even if I did meet him, I wouldn’t have remembered it. Yet it haunts me, because I look at photos of him and he looks familiar to me. Familiar as in, I’ve seen his photo before in someone’s house. Yet I don’t know of any of my family members who might have known him.

I’ve had dreams about him too, a lot actually, although my favorite one was when I was at his parent’s house. I was sitting in the living room on the couch with his mom, and we were both watching and listening to him sing and play the piano. Which if I remember correctly, it was a Pinkly Smooth song.

I’m so happy though, happy to hear his music, happy to be in this community, happy to be around amazing people, happy to keep Jimmy’s legacy alive.
