The Force is Stronger Today

Good Bye, Carrie Fisher 

And Thank You From This Little Girl Who Needed You:

            Carrie Fisher passed away today after suffering a massive heart attack. My heart is broken, and I have cried. I will cry more. I didn't know her, just like I didn't know David Bowie, or Prince or George Micheal...F$%K! That doesn't mean that her passing didn't hurt. She brought to life a character that I needed as a child. Every little girl needed Princess Leia. Generations of little girls grew up seeing Carrie Fisher give life to Princess Leia and that character would not have been the same if played by another person. She had sass, she took charge, and she was classy. She showed fear, showed leadership, and wasn't afraid to fight.

               When I was a kid, we didn't have those type of women in film or on TV and she was such an influence that she shaped my life. We still are lacking strong female charters today, but we are moving in the right direction and it has to do with Carrie Fisher. We never would of had Rey, who is so sorely needed for girls today! We never would have had female Ghostbusters, and on and on and on. No, I didn't know her, but I knew her influence. She was a face that I saw since I was a baby and grew up with. She was someone I watched and enjoyed seeing. The Force Awakens had me crying at many parts, but one of them was seeing Carrie Fisher being General Leia once more. We needed her, we still need her, but the Force needed her more. Just like David Bowie and all the rest, Carrie Fisher isn't gone, she is everywhere. Thank you for giving this girl HOPE!
