I’ve been trying to find the rightful thing to say, and no words seems to express what’s going through my head, heart and mind. Naya really helped me when I was in my teenage years. Through her character in Glee, she shaped an entire mindset of acceptance and strong women knowing exactly what she wants, fighting for what she judges is right and is an “hardcore friend”. What happened to her is unfair, she had so much time left to live, so many moments with her son to share, and so many days to light up by her presence. No matter what you guys thought of her, she helped many of us, whether it was through her character or through her personality, she really brought many of the gleeks out there joy, confidence, and light into their heart when they probably most needed it. I pray for her soul to be at peace, I pray for her son, her family and all her friends. I could never understand their pain or grief, but I’ll sure miss her.
Thank you Naya, for everything I love you and please be your soul laying in a bed of roses.
Naya rivera (January 12, 1987 - July 8-13, 2020)

Honestly, I never thought I'd actually be playing a teen lesbian. I didn't think it was going to go this far. But I'm glad that it did, because there have been a lot of fans who have expressed that they've been going through similar situations in their lives.

My family had moved to Bahrain when I was 7 and returned back to India when I was 15. It was a bit of a struggle for me and I hated my arrival. I wasn't fluent in reading and writing in my mother tongue, Malayalam( I am fluent in speech though). Being judged and ridiculed for not knowing how to do so. I struggled in writing my language and it was compulsory for my grade.
But my teachers were nice(not all though). They were patient enough and I was willing to work my part. I still remember, I would, literally, mug-up the full essay from my second language reference book. It was tough and tiresome,but, I was kind of determined as well as a bit of under pressure.
Looking back at my initial years I have improved on my reading and writing skills in Malayalam and I believe that I still got to improve more. Let me be honest, I'm proud of what I have accquired comparing with my initial skills.
If I could travel back in time and meet my 15 year old self, I would say that it is okay. People may judge you and ridicule you for not not having a good base on your mother tongue. But it's okay and you don't have to let yourself feel ashamed or guilty.
I'm proud of you girl for reaching up till here.(self note)
