I am here. yes. I am not dead. Also Esther Earl

Hey guys. I have been gone for over two years but HEEEEEEEEEY!!!! I decided to start blogging because I really wanted to have a spot to talk about things and generally have my own creative space.

Lately, I have been super inspired by a girl my age named Esther Grace Earl. If you are part of the nerdfighter community or the Harry Potter verse than you probably know who she is already. If not then where have you been?!?! No, Just kidding. Esther worked really hard with her favorite author John Green (who is not my best friend yet, dammit) to decrease world suck. Unfortunately, she had thyroid cancer which is very rare in kids, and died a few weeks after turning sixteen. Even though she spent a bunch of her last few years of life in a bed due to fatigue she was very influential in the online community. So yeah. Go check out her Youtube.

Also here is her mom's channel which features some really great footage of Esther and her friends.

Esther also contributed the idea of what would happen to Harry Potter if he had baguettes instead of wands. Best idea ever. Somebody needs to make this a real thing.
Have a great day!
