Wow... My last entry was about a year and a half ago... Long time.

Anyway, I'm a bit late to the party. Or funeral, I suppose. Lauren (AKA Metaknightmares) has recently passed away...

Allow me to explain some stuff:
I didn't know her in real life. I met her on Quizilla and we began roleplaying, sending each other YouTube videos to be sorta like "movies" in a theater. Well, I left Quizilla and she looked me up on YouTube and we continued there. We did the roleplay for about a year.

A couple days passed and she didn't reply. I was patient; she told me not long before that she was on vacation with her family. I checked her channel and immediately left a playful, joking comment. Then, I scrolled up and read her profile. When I saw that it said, "Lauren had a massive heart attack and sadly, has passed away," I thought she was talking about HER SISTER (I never learned her real name until after this experience). So I left another comment apologizing for the joke and expressing my sympathy.

I waited a while, and resent the last roleplay message I wrote her, thinking that she didn't get it or something. Then I went back to her profile, and I inspected her description further. That's when I realized that it wasn't her sister that died; it was HER!!!

I may not have ever met her in real life, but after all the chatting we did, reading that hit me like a brick to the face. Next thing I knew, my eyes were clouding up with tears, and I began to sob for nearly an hour...

I used to wonder how someone could cry on their own over someone that they had never met dying... and now I know. I extend my deepest sympathies to her family and friends...

From what I've heard, she was 17 and she just graduated from high school.

RIP Lauren/Metaknightmares
