This is Michelle. She was an incredible inspiration to countless people. I remember first seeing her and thinking she was soo cool cause she was inked and pierced and only a year older than myself. On march 10th 2013 she died. Michelle wasn’t happy a lot of the time. She was actually very depressed. She had a tough past that wouldn’t seem to leave her alone. I barely ever talked to her, but i didn’t realize how big of a part she was of my life. she inspired me like crazy. then earlier this morning, around four o’clock, my dad’s alarm clock went off. with my dad no where to be found i turned off the alarm myself, went back to bed and got my iPod to play some music. Low an behold, i learned about michelle’s death from an instagram notification. i didnt beleive it at first, its still hard too, but i checked all of her friend’s accounts and there it was. “rest in Peace” “rest in paradise” “come back” “i love you” i cried. for someone who wasn’t even in the same country as me. I had known how sad she was, i wanted to be her friend, truely, i did. even the thought of her being gone is just weird. My sincere apologies go out to her family, her boyfriend anthony and her friends, Chris, Courtney, Nona, Anna, Aaron and Matt. Rest Michelle, you’ve been working so hard for so long.
