Another Star Unlit

In times of need, in times of worry, we find our hopes and dreams and look up to them in hopes of finding reprieve in the fulfillment of these wishes. They remain within the stars, where there magnificence radiates and gives a sense of life in all of us.

Today, one of those stars has died out, it's magnificence snuffed out from view.

Stefan Karl Stephenson, AKA Robbie Rotten, had succumbed to cancer today. It'd become too much for him to bear after it'd reached stage four, and returned even after it's remission to claim his body.

But do not cry.

Believe me, I am beyond shattered to hear that a piece of my childhood has forever been taken away from me to be held within the void, but let us not think of him as another star unlit.

Stefan brought joy to everyone with his part in LazyTown, as his part as the "villian" was vital to all of us learning our lesson as children. He brought us laughter and joy, and in turn we brought him smiles. So, why not still do so?

Whenever you think of this man, do not let your tears overwhelm you to the point of breaking down. Instead, smile in remembrance. Let joy fill you at the sound of his name as his memory glows just as brilliant as his star once did.

We are all number one, he saw that. So let us not forget who was truly number one.

Let us not forget the man who brought our hopes and dreams to the stars we look up to, for if we smile and celebrate the memories he left us...

That unlit star just may find it's glow once more.

young death.

whenever someone who is close to you in age passes away you are forced to look at your own mortality and the mortality of your peers. we often make so many promises and write so many contracts for the future, taking them all for granted as if we were promised the time. i’m so deeply saddened by this death and it’s because i'm ignorant and mostly in denial. in the past days, i’ve connected with my high school peers as we handed in money for funeral expenses and floral arrangements like we were going on a field trip. I keep replaying his face in my head and when it stops, a refresh of a Facebook page brings that smile and his big brown eyes back again. 

i never was able to express that i always looked up to you. any time we were in the same place you were always the same person no matter who was around, something that’s so hard when you’re in high school. something i couldn’t even do in high school. high school is such a weird time for everyone but you were always consistent and made it look so effortless. i could always count on your hug and asking how your “cousin” was doing.  i always appreciated you and admired how your friends appreciated you. i wish i had known that you were battling something bigger than yourself. but in your typical fashion, you were still able to hand out advice, understanding, and jokes. 

i’ve never personally known death this young, perhaps more clumsy but more surprising than a mature or sick death. death makes everyone, including myself so selfish, why do I feel this way, why am I hurting when it had been so long since our last conversation? in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t even matter. what i know is that you were loved by so many and you loved so many and i hope that you have found the peace and love you gave to everyone.

Ann and I went to our friends wake and it was like a high school reunion. There were so many people and the sadness was so much. We decided to skip the funeral part and instead went to the Peace Pagoda. Even after seeing him in the casket and all, it's still so hard to believe that he is gone. He was so full of life and had such a strong spirit. It's such a shock.
