This was one of the most devastating things i have ever had to read. I started to cry. Esther was so full of happiness and joy. She did it so no one would see her pain. I will miss seeing her videos. R.i.p. beautiful star. @johngreenwritesbooks @tswgo #tswgo #tswgobook #esthergraceearl #johngreen

My husband and I were invited to play our song "Esther" at the book release party for This Star Won't Go Out by Esther Earl. This is my Thoughts from Places-inspired video about the event and the wonderful people who shared it with us. I'm so happy that I was a part of such an awesome night.

Just finished reading This Star Wont Go Out by Esther Earl. To me, it was beautiful. The story itself was sad but the way she seemed to handle it was very mature and inspiring. I know at age 14 I would have not been able to handle all of that and even grasp what death truly means and how special life really is. Honestly, I’m 23. I am not for certain that I would be able to handle that now. It just shows that age is just a number and that you can be young and still be able to understand and accept very "adult" things which gives me some more hope in humanity because there are people  that do just want to spread love and are very grateful and are not afraid to share that with the world. Thank you Esther for inspiring so many people and for taking the time to write down you’re personal journey. Don’t be afraid to read this book because it is sad. Read it because this girl celebrated her life as much as she could and reading about her life with most definitely realize the importance of yours.

After watching John Green's live stream I feel inspired by Esther or more accurately her story. I hope to read the book as soon as it comes out in my country. Having been in the nerdfighter community for about a year and a half now I kept hearing the name Esther Earl and when I looked the name up I cried a lot. I guess it was because as a nerdfighter I too felt the loss of this lovely young girl. It was probably also because I was dealing with the loss of a family member who suffered with cancer. 

Esther Earl made me realize that doing what I've been doing for a very long time now (feeling sorry for myself and giving up on life) is not the right decision and that life has so much to offer me if I am willing to take it. If someday I am half as strong as she was, I'd be the happiest person. 

Thank you, Esther for showing me this new view on life even through other people's words and memories. You were and still are the most amazing person I've come across.
