 #so i was just thinking #what if it turned out he was your second cousin or something #i mean you would actually see him at family functions #and you’d be able to come to him with advice or for a smile #see for me #darren has had an immense and probably unnatural impact on me as a person #mostly because he’s not there #in my life #i don’t have a dependence on him in a way that people he knows might #i have to do that myself #i have to see past the goofy smile and more towards the morals and attitude he brings to the plate #and when i’m sad i have to direct myself there #and use that same mindset to make me smile or put me back where i want to be #and i think there’s that connection between him and myself #and i think there’s that same connection with a lot of fans #he makes me want to be a better person #and even if i never meet him in three dimensional sense #and he never knows of his significance to me #i think he understands #and he handles it very well #he is my role model #and i honestly think having him as an active participant in my daily routines #would cause me to be lazy and lose sight of who i am
