To be there for my nephew even though I can hardly be there for myself, "she said in a statement." The most important thing I have learned is
to show
compassion

judge
others
and never for a moment take for granted, "she continues.

Sister, There are no words to describe my love for you.
Side by side or miles apart, our connection is infinite.
Our bond is unbreakable.
We were complete opposites, yet simultaneously the same.
The yin to my yang.
I never knew that by losing you, I would find so much of you in myself.
I've never known a life without you in it & still can't imagine it.
My world is turned upside down.
But through it all, everything we were, we are still.
I'll always look at you with the same eyes as I did when I was young. My shmaya, I'll love you for eternity & miss you every second of my life.
🤍

Before the body of

been looking for
the

who eventually fell in love with a classmate.

Naya

RIP Naya Rivera.
I'll forever cherish the opportunity to play your girlfriend on Glee.
The character you played was groundbreaking for tons of closeted (at the time) queer girls like me, and your ambition and accomplishments were inspiring to Latina women all over the world.
