i reminisce about some interaction we had at least once a day. you have made such a lasting impact on so many people.
it feels weird to not have our snap streak anymore, or not bring able to hear about the new things you were working on or learning. i loved hearing about how you were growing and i only wish i could have heard from you even more.
thanks for making time to be with me when i needed it. and for getting food with me (even if it was to take advantage of my cheese n stuff food pass). im not going to be able to walk by eshleman hall without imagining you hammering away on homework or your projects.
since this year began ive been in the midst of a self awakening with how much political activism i partake in. i remember that i met you at a time when i was losing faith in my own political power individually. ive gained perspective from seeing and feeling your undying impact and ive chosen to devote a more significant amount of time to local causes in my area. maybe i almost made you a socialist, but you turned me into an optimist. i really hope you're happy about that
.
my thoughts are continuously with your family and your other loved ones. please be kind to yourselves in this time. love is the answer.
rest in power, courtney. ❤️
