It is sad. It's interesting though when you look into it, the large number of artists who have achieved a certain level of fame, that lived with some form of mental illness. Which makes their success even greater.
Perfectionists always suffer. Couple that with the rejections that are often part & parcel of careers in the arts & it's a recipe for heightened vulnerability.
"The thing that matters are others. That's what life is about." Please everyone watch movie where you can learn the truth, this extraordinary human battled through an extremely rare disease where his brain was literally disintegrating. Miss him but his legacy continues ❤️
Me too. And often think of what he must have gone through. Wasn't it Robin Williams who said that depressed people aren't pretending to be depressed, they're pretending to be okay?
He came into my store and no one recognized him. I helped him and after I said “I just wanted to say I’m a big fan of your work Mr Williams. Thank you” he took my hands in his “thank *you*. You have a wonderful day, Miss.” and he left. And a few months later he was gone. It hit me pretty hard

Robin and George Carlin
Loved them both
God rest their souls
Heaven likely laughs every day 🙏❤️
Solidly in the 'Could wield Mjolnir' category alongside Fred Rogers, Bob Ross, Jimmy Carter, Dolly Parton, Betty White.
Damn, makes me sad I only have white people on that list. Yay for being raised in the south
Jackie Robinson, Arthur Ashe, Harry Belafonte & Sydney Poitier spring immediately to mind as role models
He is missing . . .

When he passed however, it was noticeable, deep sadness. The world definitely isn’t the same without him.
Too good for this world, I guess. ❤️🩹
Imagine what he would be saying about Trump.
Trump would have a fit.
Lololololololol
