all i know is that she put herself out there in the world because she wanted to be witnessed. we all do, right? and i did - i witnessed her with a strong but silent personal investment.
that should mean something, but if she never knew, does it really?

anyway, she impacted my life in so many small ways. she was beginning to find happiness + self love after years of mental health issues. success was inching closer - it had a foot in the door. everyone knew, and everyone incl me was cheering her on. she just passed in car crash.
