And I'm really sad. It's not hard for me to be sad on a day without exercise and all freezing rain and grayness.
To help cheer me up Laura toasted Carrie Fisher with our beers. It made me smile to think of the kind of zippy one liner Carrie would give for a toast in her honour, for someone that has struggled with addiction and mental health issues.
All my life that I can remember I've known Star Wars. I would watch it as many times in a row that I could (that's not healthy). I... feel like that character is part of my childhood and it makes me really sad at her passing.
Her legacy might not be just Star Wars but how open she was about her mental health issues. Knowing that you can be a bit broken and still go on is heartening. I think we're all a bit broken. It doesn't mean you don't go ahead and get it done. But it doesn't mean you can't take a break.
Goodbye Carrie. To me, you'll always be royalty.
May the Force be with you.
