To Carrie Fisher.

On December 27th, 2016, the world lost you. You were a beloved actress and writer. The world always needs people like you to pull them up. Star Wars and Princess Leia/General Organa, though your most well known projects, was just the tip of the iceberg in your 60 year long life.

You never let your illness and fight with addiction define you. You told your story in some of the most public ways possible, which normalized mental illness. You showed the world that it is okay to have mental illness, that it can be treated and those who have it can live a normal life. You did that Carrie. You made that impact for so many people. You showed people to not be ashamed of something that was out of their control.

I will always admire the way you never tried to please other people. You were just yourself. You were so courageous. You were never afraid to hide the mistakes you made. You were so strong for so many people. I guess now it's someone else turn to take the torch. You will be missed so much and I know what you've contributed to the world will continue to impact us for generations to come. May the force be with you. <3
