Robin Williams / Depression

So. I've cried for the first time in a very long time today.

You've all heard the news by now,
Robin Williams has passed away.......

I am truly at a loss of words regarding this. I literally had two celebrities who I wanted to meet in my life time and thank for being such major lights in my childhood. And now one of them is gone....
(The other is Jim Carrey by the way)
I know that posting this on a website forum will just have it fall into the vortex that is the internet, but for one moment I want to voice myself.

Thank you Robin. For being an amazing human being. Your personality, comedy and enthusiasm for your work has shaped a significant part of my life, and I'm so glad that it was you that got to do that. Hundreds of millions, if not billions, will miss you my friend...... rest well.


I'd also like to mention that if anyone reading this is suffering from Depression or anxiety, DO NOT let it sit and fester. Talk to people. It can be family, friends, even a complete stranger on the net. I honestly believe that talking to people is the greatest way to break the cycle of depression. I know medication can be a necessary response, but talking about it and acknowledging it with other people is the first and hardest step.

You are not alone in this world. You have 7 billion potential friends on this planet, and a lot of us are just a click away!
If you want someone to talk to, consider me your first potential friend

Anyway,
Thank you for reading,

- Matt
