Yesterday was an absolutely devastating day when the entire world learned of the passing of our beloved Excelsior.
And as I woke up today, deep inside of me, I wanted to believe that it wasn't true, that it was one of those cheesy celebrity 'death hoaxes' but the reality is that, he's gone.
It's been a day, and throughout social media, people are still pouring out their grief and condolences.
I think most of us are still in shell shock, trying to come to terms that a legend has passed, but that doesn't mean he will be forgotten.
Stan Lee touched millions with his stories, with what he created can only be described with one word.... genius.
He created heroes who represented our deepest desires and also showed our flaws, and entire generations grew up taking an introspective look at their own lives, with simple 'comics.'
His legacy transcended because it was ultimately spoke to us through our shared humanity, and whether we spoke the same language or not, we understood what truly and deeply connects us, stories, lessons learned, lost, grief, triumph, etc.
He was a giant among giants, and despite the collective grief we all feel at these very moments, let us not forget, that 'One person, can make a difference' and that despite adversity, we will continue to fight and believe in ourselves and each other.
Excelsior,
Thank you for bringing us countless hours of joy with your creations.
Thank you for letting us dream in being these amazing characters who've reflected our deepest selves and who accompanied us in our darkest moments.
Your legacy will not be forgotten and you'll continue to touch every single one of us for even more generations to come.
Rest in Peace.
