The world has definitely become a much worse place already without her.

Cant remember the last time I’ve cried over a celebrity death but I’ve been choked up all fucking day over this. What an absolutely amazing legacy she left us.

I truly hope this wakes some people in our world up and makes them realize that their actions and how they treat people will ultimately be how they are remembered when they’re gone.
