#christinagrimmie
One year ago today, Christina Grimmie was taken from us. I remember sitting in my best friend's room watching her videos and saying "How does she even hit those notes!?!?" And since then, I've been there with Christina every step of the way. From her first Twitter account, to Find Me, to winning the iHeartRadio contest. Even her Hannah Montana days. (Lol). When I discovered Christina, I was immediately inspired to become more like her music wise. I started singing more. I started playing piano more. I learned a whole bucketful of new instruments because she inspired me to. And then one day, she answered a snapchat and just kind of started replying to me. We weren't at all super close, but close enough. Not only was she an inspiration, she was kind enough to be a friend. This year has been a weird year for Team Grimmie. It's been very confusing. But I couldn't be more proud of Christina than I am right now. She's come so far, even after she passed. I'm so proud of you, girl.
Love, me.

What a terrifying day to be alive
What a terrifying week
What a terrifying year
50 lives lost
No a single rainbow is shining down on us today
I cry for the lives of the people i never knew
and i cry because we never know what those souls could have done for our world
Another day older, but i feel so small
Nothing i can do, but mourn and hope for a better tomorrow
Justice went un served for a victim who spoke out,
and the rest of us cry, because we didn't have the courage
Why cant the world see non consensual *** does not exist
There's only one word for it, and its ****
All the horror going on around me, each tear falling from my eyes is bringing each small ounce of hope and happiness with it
This week i have told myself i don't want to live on this planet,
but that's a slap in the face to everybody who no longer has the chance
Tomorrow i will be a better me, i will honor the lives lost to violence and hate. I will put forth more generosity, kindness, and understanding for the ones around me who lack it. I will not give up. The people committing these horrible acts of violence and intolerance need me to be the best person that i can be.
