 I never thought I would have to think about the loss of a celebrity I loved as a child until I was at least thirty.

However, here we are.

A boyband member passed from this earth.

Similar to many others across the world, this passing, while not personal, brings up personal feelings.

We all lost a part of our younger selves with the loss of someone famous. 

We are forced remember how fleeting light can be.

Enjoy the warmth while you have it.

Hug your young ones tight today,

and be graceful to your younger self.
