Lost, I say this to relate to you and normalize it a little, I often feel things for people that I don’t particularly know. There was a guy my H worked with who made some of my favorite music in progressive house. He passed away (same way as Steve). My heart just broke for him, his family, his followers. He really was the next big thing in that genre. I listen to his last song all the time and it makes me cry. Think how sad that the world lost this beautiful soul. I did not know this person in anyway, but he hugely affected me.

You can have whatever feelings you feel. They are real and they are valid. I think playing a song and lighting a candle online is a beautiful way to celebrate Julio’s life. And I think it’s beautiful that he was able to touch you so deeply.
