Forever

I don't know what it is about Whitney Houston's death, but this is the saddest I've been about a person dying who I never met personally. Her voice and songs remind me of my childhood. The subject matter of her songs are so strong and her voice just made those subjects so much more real to a 8 year old who had no fuckin idea what love is.

So many of her songs were staples of my childhood. Long car rides, elementary talent shows, cheesy video montages. Crazy how someone who I've never met before, let alone gotten to know, has affected my life so deeply
