it's not like I knew him

[certainthings]

I don't understand why I was and still am so upset over Cory's death. I didn't know him. I didn't know much about him. I liked Finn, but he wasn't my favourite.

And yet.

I never CRIED when I learned that he died, but have between then and now gotten weepy and heavy sigh sad about his passing.

I'm sure he was a lovely person. But. Can I please stop being sad about him?

I have been struggling with the same thing. I have no idea why his death as effected me as much as it has.

i was sad for a long time. for a week right after he died, i basically just hid in my bedroom and tried to make sense of things. i honestly think it's because i really do believe he's a kind, kind person, and it's such a loss to have that kindness remove from the world.

I feel kind of the same way. I think it's the sadness that I feel for everyone he knew, Lea Michele , his glee family. It seems like such a loss.

I feel ya. I may have stopped watching Glee after the second season or so, but I loved the first season and the character of Finn and esp. Finn/Rachel, then to see it translate from on-screen to off-screen with Cory and Lea was pretty cool to see (I also loved the role reversal from their characters to the actors in terms of their relationship).

And of course, I can't watch that Teen Choice Awards speech from Lea with a dry eye. Nope.

I have stupid reasons for why I think I was so sad to hear.
His name is Cory.
He's Canadian.
He's from Alberta originally.
When I first saw him on Glee, I associated him so much with my own Cory that I just fell into complete adoration with him.
He'll be missed.
