I guess there's some secret project going on for Vic and I've been wanting to give him a letter thanking him for everything anyway, so this was a perfect solution! Here's my letter to Vic Mignogna thanking him for everything he has done.
There's so much that I could really say about Vic, but there isn't enough time or paper in the universe to supply everything I would like to tell him. So, I'll just try my best to get out at least some of it. When I first met him, I really didn't know what to think, nor did I really know who he was. Nonetheless, I was incapable of thinking how much my life would change so drastically just from meeting him. I became pretty fond of him and the warmth he brought to my heart. Through watching him progress in his career and telling the many stories of a voice actor, I grew to admire him more and more and I wanted to get to know him as well as I possibly could. I felt a bond with him that I've never felt before in anyone before, I looked up to him as a father figure and wanted to follow in his footsteps and be the best fan I could be. Thus, he became the light in my life. The warmth in my heart.
I've tried to watch his numerous animes(Yes, I do admit I've only seen maybe 3 or 4 of them), but the thing I truly fell in love with was not his acting, but his singing and writing. Such beauty, such prowess, I fell in love with the sorrow and happiness his songs brought to my heart. Every song that he wrote struck my heart like no others have. The door to my own cold heart that I closed so tightly so many years ago had been opened again after I knew you and I shared the same feelings. He could fight all of the sorrow in his life so hard and keep on writing beautiful songs and still be the beautiful soulful man that he is today. I could no longer wallow in my own sorrows and shed tears with pety excuses. After being around Vic and his music for a while, I began changing my life because of him. He had inspired me to actually do something with my life instead of wallowing in the darkness that was slowly consuming me.
Among these things that Vic has done for me, being a friend, leader, teacher...and most importantly, the closest thing to a father I've ever had. He teaches me things that no one else has even thought to say...and so much more. He's touched my heart and soothed my wild soul. I often struggled in my new foster family because of my father's death when I was 9 from the World Trade Center attack, Vic has helped me through all of it. He's been there for me to talk to, to ask...to love. That's all I needed. Someone to love and love me back. And heck, we even lobve the same stuff!(Star Wars, Star Trek, acting...dark chocolate...raspberries...)Because I look up to Vic so much, I've tried to mend my broken heart and the losses of my mother and father. Thanks to Vic for believing in me, I did it.
I had slowly learned to hate and not believe in God for a while. I used to think that he had given up on me, and that he wasn't real. Then, I heard Vic preach about him and I started to believe again. It's extremely hard to get me to believe in something...and I have Vic to thank for setting me back on the right path. As such, I started living a much happier life filled with gratitude and hope every day. Hope that I now knew that one way or another, everything would be fine. After everything that had happened to me, I looked to him for hope, and he gave me that. I thank him very much for that...something no one has ever done for me before. God has surely blessed me with wonderful role-models and friends...I prayed to God for an angel, the very next day...I found the Rangers. I was transformed from the Grinch, to being the Shrimp/Otaku you all know today thanks to you guys believing in me and helping me spread my wings.
So, for everything that I've said, all the things he's done to help me become a better person, a better me, has truly played an important role in my struggle of teenage life. I just want to say thank you...thank you for blessing me with such awesome friends that are Rangers...thank you for being the man that you are...for touching my heart...for making me believe that there is still something out there to hold on to for hope. Thank you for putting me back on the right path in life. I owe so much to you, and I am eternally thankful for EVERYTHING you have done for me. Thank you, Vic...thank you so much.
