I woke yesterday as if it were any other day and just as I was leaving for work, I saw on the news that Corey Haim had died. I dropped my purse and my phone of the floor as I sat for a minute to watch the short news blurb on his death. Drug overdose, apparently. It's actually quite sad. I grew up with the "two Coreys." They were part of my youth. I had a the BIGGEST crush on Corey Haim...so much so that I dreamed that one day we would meet and get married.
Ah, the dreams and fantasies of an 11 year old. My my how time has flown. Anyway...during my drive to work I was a bit thoughtful over the fact that he was now dead. Not because I still harboured my 11 year old thoughts and dreams, but more so because it was quite sad at how he never really found peace. He seemed so messed up and confused and was never able to find the right path for himself. As the lights in Hollywood shine a little less bright today, I am hopeful that others will learn from Mr. Haim's death.
Rest in Peace Corey Haim. May you finally find the peace that eluded you in Life.
