On Robin Williams passing.

My heart goes out to Robin William's family and friends. I can't imagine anything harder than having to come to grips with someone you love committing suicide.

Over ten years ago, I remember watching an interview of Robin Williams. He was on one of his trademark manic riffs and I had to turn it off because it made me feet sad and depressed. As much as I admire Robin William's talent, istening to his non-stop riff was exhausting. I can't even imagine how exhausting it was for him to have to deal with all that energy trapped inside his head.

Please don't misunderstand me. I greatly admire Robin William's comedic talent, his wonderful acting ability and he has brought much joy and laugher to my life. I think that what changed was me. I've suffered through a depression and with the help of therapy and medication, I was lucky enough to come out the other side unscathed. I think that when I saw Robin William's interview, it was like holding up a mirror to what I went through during my depression. It was clear to me that he was suffering and struggling and it hurt me to see him in pain.

Everything has a beginning, middle and end. I am saddened to see Robin William's beautiful life come to an end. I'm glad that he shared his talents with us.

Rest in peace. You shall be missed.
