Taking in the reality of a man I admired for his vast and one of a kind talent being gone. And how he went. RIP Robin Williams. I will remember his talent. For some reason World According to Garp is one of my favorite roles, and the John Irving book is still in my book shelf with it's paper back broken spine. Of all the books I've culled out over the years, I hang onto it.
Please remember Robin for his talents, his gifts, his truth telling - and not how he went. But, also, please, understand the depth of mental illness that no matter who you are, supported, money, health care or none - a compulsion comes, an idea won't stop circling.
His loss makes my own resolve MORE INSPIRED to over come and heal from the situation I am in. I have challenges and loads of crud, some of my own making to get over, through and around to be BETTER. I have never wanted to live and seek a life as much as I do right now.
I am not angered at Robin Williams for leaving. Who knows, he could not filter his characters when magic took us with him in his performances! This time, maybe an impulse, maybe with no one around, a moment, a thought - and he followed through with a flash of idea he thought was unstoppable in that moment.
I wish him peace, his family love - and for anyone in pain, purely deep understanding.
