Bowie always knows what to say

When I was eleven my sister sat me down in front of her computer and made me watch the film Labyrinth. I remember myself looking at that screen with wide eyes and feeling something I had never felt before. Looking at that handsome man and wondering where he had came from. His face, his mismatched eyes, I couldn’t believe somebody so powerfully beautiful and talented could actually exist.

I’m 20 years old now and I still feel the exact same thing most of the time. What could I say about him… He’s the most brilliant, talented, interesting and lovely person I’ve seen in my life. He’s changed my life in so many ways, I can’t even begin to explain how thankful I am. I can’t pretend I know him. I know lots of things about him but I’ve been daydreaming about actually meeting him in person my whole life and I know it’s foolish, but it keeps me going.

David Robert Jones, you are the reason I am the way I am. You’ve saved me so many times, believe it or not. Your music’s always been there, by my side. Your voice is the only thing I want to hear when I feel I’m losing my way. I love you very much. Thanks for everything. Thanks for existing.
