This is my first one. This the first celebrity death that hit me. I apologize for my ignorance before this. I greatly unestimated the power of entertainment, it’s reach, and it’s influence. I learned a lesson today and it sucks. RIP Kobe Bryant

When people like Kobe and Nipsey Hussle are taken away so early in their lives, we don’t get to see what else they would go on to accomplish in life

Successful adults like those two are similar to kids... They want more. They have more dreams!

Stuff like that makes me so so sad
