From @grimmiex12
Dear Christina: I want to start this by saying that I am VERY proud of you and of how far you've come. Since I first discovered you last November I've seen how much effort, love and dedication you always put in all of the work you do,to give team Grimmie and the rest of the world the best. So let me tell you that now this is paying off. You're opening the iHeart music festival how cool is that, you really deserve this. It is the perfect opportunity for you to show the world who you are! It's amazing how many people love and admire you! The key to success is being humble and this my friend is something you've never lost. Christina, if I could tell you all of the things that you've done for me this probably would be 3 pages long, but trying to summarize, you made me realize that really who cares about what society tells you, be who you are and just be happy. Also to follow your dreams not caring about the negative things people tell you, and you are a clear example because you never gave up. I'm very very thankful for finding you because my life changed so much since that day. Although I've never met you (and I will very soon) I feel like you're always there for me whenever I need you, thanks for that too (I quote one of my favorite verses of 'With Love' because it's very true. "When I'm down and I'm done, and I'm coming unplugged, when I'm ready to fall you're the one always holding me up with love.") Now, when you're up in that stage, girl show em' why you are the 2015 Rising Star. Have the time of your life and enjoy because that's the important thing. I'm very proud to say that I am part of team grimmie. The fact that you are so down to earth and you take your time to interact and talk with us really proves everyone how much you love us and love what you do. When people ask me why I look up to you I seriously could talk for hours about all of the great stuff you've done not just for me but for everyone in this fandom and also I could talk about the AMAZING person that you are. So always remember that we're here for you no matter what. This is going to be an amazing experience, and hopefully you'll get to meet lots of people and get all of the recognition that you deserve. You will be excellent as always, so rock that stage. I wish you the best of the luck and fingers crossed you will meet Walk The Moon!!! You're more than prepared for this big step in your career. I'm Looking forward to see you in Vegas I'm so so excited to finally be meeting my idol! So be prepared. I will be supporting you till the end. I love you very much❤️and thanks again, Mariel (@grimmiex12)
