Little things.

IN MEMORY OF NAYA RIVERA

Naya Rivera was a mom, a sister, a daughter. She was an actress, a singer, a writer, a model. She was a latina woman who went through a lot in this life. She was always vocal and open about important issues such as homophobia, racism, toxic relationships, sexism, motherhood, abortion. Her character in Glee was probably one of the most influential and important representations for the LGBTQ+ community and she always talked about how Santana was important for young LGBT people and how proud she was for being able to represent something good. If Santana ever helped you, Naya was so proud of that and of you. She changed lives.

I’ve been trying to find the rightful thing to say, and no words seems to express what’s going through my head, heart and mind. Naya really helped me when I was in my teenage years. Through her character in Glee, she shaped an entire mindset of acceptance and strong women knowing exactly what she wants, fighting for what she judges is right and is an “hardcore friend”. What happened to her is unfair, she had so much time left to live, so many moments with her son to share, and so many days to light up by her presence. No matter what you guys thought of her, she helped many of us, whether it was through her character or through her personality, she really brought many of the gleeks out there joy, confidence, and light into their heart when they probably most needed it. I pray for her soul to be at peace, I pray for her son, her family and all her friends. I could never understand their pain or grief, but I’ll sure miss her. Thank you Naya, for everything I love you and please be your soul laying in a bed of roses.
