i just found out someone i admired and followed for years on various social media sites has passed away after battling a long illness. i feel like i don't have a right to be sad, because it's not like i knew her IRL, it's not like i'm her family, who are obviously hurting on a much deeper level, right? but seeing that she's gone has made my stomach drop and brought me to tears. i'll miss her sense of humor and her instagram videos where she would always sign off with a reminder to drink some water, take your meds, and an "i love you," to anyone viewing. 😔💔
