roxy | Bowie

Without David Bowie, there never would have been a Miss Roxy Rose. I would have probably kept on walking by myself, being quiet me. But I got introduced to his music, which led to learning all about that other world next door, and what a different world it was. What a lot of fun it was. I grew a whole new me, who felt more like the real me--I was much more comfortable in my skin and so surprised how many people wanted to see the world like I did. The only other time I felt like that was falling into LJ and fanfic--that feeling like finding home. Rest in peace, sir--you changed the world.

we don't grieve the death of a famous person because we knew them but because they helped us know ourselves.

Oh man, that is so very true!! We were the same re Bowie and Reed. And being in the same time as him--Bowie and the whole era was incredible! I finally felt like not-a-freak, like it was okay to be who I was. This *amazing* person making it happen...watching him live, just being transported!!

What an amazing creature. To think he and I were the same species!

Yes girl!

*huuuugs you hard*
