That scene where she breaks down when Santana was singing “if I die young”. Santana was performing and then Naya came through and broke down crying. If your a Gleek you’ll know what I mean 😢 😢 😢
This is just heartbreaking. I was so sad for Lea when he passed at the time but I think back to Naya performing “If I Die Young” and how real her emotions felt. They truly had a special connection on and off the show and I hope they’re somewhere happy and at peace together.
Lea didn’t care about cory she only dated him for fame you see how they’re relationship became strained in 2013 you noticed as soon as Cory started dating lea he loses weight and got skinny and unhealthy and stared using again it was probably because cory couldn’t handle the pressure of fame and dating the most famous girl and lea wanting kids from him he probably needed drugs to self medicate the pain and trauma and pressure poor cory couldn’t handle anymore so god just decided it was his time he needed to be In heaven with god❤️
i am convinced cory and naya were absolute soulmates, or at least twin flames. there's not a day that goes by without me missing them. rip, angels. fly high.
@@2turg_2furious right but there is also just close friendships too, I don’t understand people who stan others so much they put them together 😂 a friendship can just be a friendship

Cory’s death hits me so so much to this day... I was around 11 or so when he died, he was such an important figure in my life, I loved glee so much and I remember my dad coming into my room saying “Cory died....” and I just started bawling... May he and Naya Rest In Peace
I remember my friend texted me and said "did you see that Cory died?" and I literally thought she was doing some sick joke... I couldn't believe it and had to google it
@@sweetyalex99 I was to young to watch but k remember people talking about it and when my uncle said 2 of them are dead or googled it and was like no my Finny and oh oh my god puck why would you ewww!
I found what she said about Sean being so selfish and leaving her to grieve by just rolling over and going back to sleep interesting. It is stuff like that that really shows what people are really like and I'm glad she saw him for what he was.
Yeah that was very selfish!!! When my friend died my boyfriend was actually the one who woke me up to tell me and he held me until I eventually cried myself back to sleep. People like Sean deserve to be single for the rest of their life.
@@Stopit999yeah that's how it's supposed to be, that's the BARE MINIMUM a friend or partner should do, it's mind boggling how sean was so unnecessarily inconsiderate of the death of a close friend of his fiancé
Not really. Her last part hasn't even been released yet. She's the voice actress for Catwoman in the upcoming animated film "Batman: The Long Halloween."
You are never a FORMER addict , you are forever a recovering addict IF you stay sober. Poor guy, you can never drink in moderation OR take drugs in moderation. We've been binge watching Glee during our Covid confinement, and it's so sad to see these two, Cory and Naya, breaks my heart. Too young, too soon, and just not fair. Naya made a mistake and Cory made a choice but I have an addictive personality (NEVER have done drugs) and smoked for 50 years before quitting cold turkey but even knowing and feeling how horrible is was and how it was affecting me, it took me all those years to stop. I "get" why Cory couldn't stop. RIP BOTH of you. Naya should NOT have taken responsibility for Cory he HAD been confronted, he had been to rehab several times. Sometimes, bless their hearts, people just can't kick it and it has nothing to do with those who love them.
I always have so much compassion and admiration for Cory and his view of his addiction, I always understood that it was an illness. One of his friends wrote, about him; I think we have to understand that the disease of addiction makes you think your driving the car and then slowly moves you into the passenger seat and it starts to drive- it lies in wait. Cory was an unbelievably good guy who somewhere along his life got lost and made some bad decisions but it wasn’t like he didn’t try to help himself, he did multiple stents in rehab and unfortunately lost to his disease. That’s the part that gets me as naya said “it was so unnecessary”. Congrats on quitting btw 💙
As a recovering addict, you can have every opportunity in the world in front of you, and it doesn’t matter when you’re in active addiction. And you’re never safe, I have 3 years sober and have to make calculated decisions every day to keep myself headed in the right direction. I will never be able to casually drink. It’s heartbreaking, but no one can make you get sober. You can even want to get sober and still not be able to. I mourned Cory’s death so personally like it happened to my own best friend, if only I had known back then I’d lose so many friends to drugs that I’ve grown numb to it. Addiction is a terrible disease.
for some people, complete abstinence from all substances actually makes it worse. I know there's a lot of former addicts who are able to drink in moderation out there. In a way it's the all or nothing thinking (all 12-step programs telling people if they even drink a little alcohol they'll slip back into addiction) that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, imo. Hard to tell what could've happened differently with Cory though.
@@dangernoodle9961 As a recovering addict who has one intense story with many attempts of getting clean, relapsing, repeat, I agree that some of us can drink in moderation; I am one of them. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I had a drink, lol; that's how, not on my mind drinking is, but it was not always that way. For me, what finally worked, in the end, is finding what worked for me. I have nothing bad to say about AA or NA; their programs work for many addicts and alcoholics. I will say this, however, *I do not and will never recommend that any addict tries to drink in moderation while clean just because some of us can do so successfully; we are rare, and it's too risky to take that chance because most times than not, the alcohol isn't enough.*
it’s also worth noting that cory was hooked on drugs in his teen years and had to be resuscitated from an OD when he was 15. drugs got a hook in him early and really haunted him through his life
I got chills when she said “2020” at the end because that’s the year she died 💔 we all had absolutely NO IDEA about that when she published this book back in 2017
there is so much footage, interviews and photos of naya, but i don’t know what i’d do without her audio book. to hear her voice so plainly is like therapy.
it gives me goose bumps on how well her own words describe not only Cory, but even more so herself... the irony is too sad. Both had so much to live for and were taken to soon... regardless of god's plan
What I think is remarkable is how OPEN she is. The reason I and so many others view celebrities as obnoxious is because they're so private, saccharine, politically correct and supply bullshit pageant answers. Naya told it like it was without any bullshit filters, and people LOVE that. It's who I aspire to be. Don't open people feel so so much better to talk to? Like, you can just trust what comes out their mouth without having to exert energy having to decipher what is ACTUALLY going on through all the privacy and lies.
@@maira.azzara true. I think they meant that statement in a way that refers to stuff like plastic surgery or completing massive goals or being insanely successful, that kinda stuff, and keeping all that a secret to make themselves seem superior to the average person. I don’t think OP meant it in a way that celebs can’t have any privacy.
"I'm a former addict." That's a red flag right there. I'm in recovery myself and there's no such thing as a former addict. Maybe one day they'll find a cure, but there isn't one right now. If you WERE an addict, you are an addict, and you'll be that way until the day you die. The drinking in moderation thing is completely relatable. We all think we can do it. Honestly, I don't know a single recovering addict who has been able to drink in moderation. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule, but it's usually a very bad sign. I would know. I've been dealing with this for over a decade. I really related to Cory because we both went into treatment at the same time. I was devastated when I found out what happened to him. I still am. I kind of felt like we were in this fight together.
“Hindsight Corys gone and I miss him. It is what it is. The only consolation is that god has a plan for me, and he must’ve had one for Cory too. Even if I don’t understand it.” Well that hits different now.😞😞
I’ve listened to a few of these and I just wanna say she had such a great narration voice. It’s so calming and with the perfection inflections and intonations
This is a very interesting audiobook. I've listened to a few clips despite not being a Glee fan. Naya seems like an intelligent, caring and fun person . Thanks so much for posting, I'm sure many of us appreciate it!
At the end when Naya was saying God had a plan for her and everyone else after Cory's death.. It just made me think about how they found her on his death anniversary. Cory was looking after Naya. I miss them
I saw my self in the character Finn and truly looked up to Cory. I was woken up by my sister telling me that Cory passed away... That same day I had to do a music video shoot. It was hard. I didn't know Cory personally but I looked to him as someone to follow. He was part of the reason I chased/chase my music career. This is truly amazing to listen to. Thank you Naya and Rest in Peace to both of you.
I find myself coming back here and to other clips of her audiobook. It’s just nice to hear her voice and to hear her POV again because Naya wrote as if she herself were talking. Man, I miss hearing about her on the news over a new role or some drama. Really miss her. She’s the first celebrity that really upset me when she passed. Rest well Naya!
David Bowie and Alan Rickman dying were awful for me. I was a wreck for several days after they died. They kept their illness private, so it was a major shock for their fans. I had tickets to db’s Salzburg concert in summer 2004. He pulled a shoulder tendon and had to cancel that show and the Vienna show, and I vowed to never miss another opportunity to see him if he toured in America again. But he died before I could ever see him in concert. Sudden deaths like theirs, like Naya Rivera’s, Cory Monteith’s, it’s very harrowing. We aren’t personal connections, but their work influenced my life in so many ways. 💔
idk how anyone can think she killed herself... and in front of her child no doubt. This woman LOVED life. She didn't wan't to die. She wanted to live a long life. She lover her son, her friends and her family. Her death was an unfortunate accident, she was trying to save her child. It is incredibly disrespectful for people to innacurately portray her as being suicidal. Just plain ridiculous the lengths people will go to besmirch someones name and spread lies. RIP Naya, you will be missed. And I hope when your son is older he can listen to this
Glee was my entire life growing up. I started watching in 2010 and fell in love with Finn AND Cory. I remember so clearly the day he died; I was 13 and I locked myself in my room and sobbed until I fell asleep. Both Cory and Naya have touched so many people. Rest In Peace to them both 💖
Santana, Brittany, & Finn were my favorite characters on "Glee"... I'm a recovering addict, I happened to relapse on 7/13/13 after a couple years clean. The next day I found out that Cory died. I have survivor's guilt about so many of my friends dying, but also about Cory, & I've been mourning Naya since last July. This breaks my heart.
My best wishes for you and your health! I have never addicted to any substance, but to my understanding relapsing isn't the same as failing. I hope you'll always find a way to recover if it ever happens, the strength, and the support that you need. PS: We have the same favorite characters haha. Amber Riley is in my list too.
@@nanwijanarko1969 Thank you Nan! I’ve been doing well for 6 years now, but it took a coma to get me there. Amber’s on my list too, she is such a kind-hearted soul. God Bless & thank you again ❤️
this is so hard to listen to.. literally made me feel sick with grief.. glee was everything to me growing up. i was devastated when cory passed and then when naya.. i couldn’t even believe it. they had such amazing souls and i know they are both dancing and singing together in heaven.. it’s still so so unbelievable to me and hurts more than any other celebrities who have passed. rip cory and naya (finn&santana) forever in our hearts ♥️
I was 7 when Cory passed, my nan watched glee while it was streaming, I only started watching glee summer 2019 and I am so thankful I did, I have become such a better person thanks so glee I cry every time I watch the quarterback episode and people say if u cry so much don’t watch it, but it’s a way of remembering someone who was special to you no matter if you have met them or not, when I found out about naya going missing I didn’t sleep for days I was always on the news refreshing the page for new news I thought she’s gunna be found then when they found her on the 13th I instantly knew Cory helped them find her, I fell to the floor and cried my eyes out, naya was a big part of my life as all of the other glee members, I didn’t sleep for days I was crying because she was gone, I am in a national lockdown I cannot leave my house nor the country, when I found out where naya went missing I wanted to go to lake piru but I’m 15 and I know my mum would not let me go to another country alone, I look at the memorial fans have done and it is so lovely how many lives naya has impacted on Cory too he has made peoples lives come true, I wish I had met him and naya. I wish in the future I could meet the glee cast
The way they both effected and changed people’s life’s was incredible. They both deserved so much better. I honestly find it hard to believe that people that amazing, generous loving and kind existed in this rotten world. I miss them beyond words.
I was 11 when Cory passed I didn’t believe it at first till every news is on even talk about his life I cried so much till after hearing naya gone wish they’re still here :(
I was 14 when Cory passed away I was in shock at first when I read an news article and then it started sinking in and I was telling myself it wasn't true so I went downstairs and asked my mum if it was true and she didn't even have to ask what was true she knew what I was talking about and she told me yes and that if I wanted to cry it was okay that's when I broke down and ran backup stairs crying 7 years later when naya went missing I had hope that they would find her but then on 13th when they found a body I just knew it was her losing both Cory and naya has broken my heart glee was the only thing that got me through high school and bullying and i miss them both so much
“Funny when you’re dead how people start listening” I still can’t get over it. My heart still breaks for her and it makes me so sad that she’s not around anymore 💔🕊🤍
This really makes me emotional 😭 hearing this it's a shame that Cory and Nayas lives were cut tragically short they both were definitely gone too soon it's just so tragic may they both RIP 😭 ❤️
I've randomly listened to a couple of these clips today, and for that bit of time, I honestly forgot that she's not here anymore. It wasn't until I was already crying about Cory, and she said 'I know that God has a plan for me' that it hit me again. Just like Cory's death was unnecessary, hers was too. Wish the best to both families xx
Some people don’t just get on heroin from a sketchy dealer or a pressuring friend. Sometimes doctors prescribe you heavy painkillers that are extremely addictive and when you run out of those most people turn to heroin.
Between this and her having to beg for only ONE day off from work for an abortion, I am horrified at the showrunners of Glee. You can pause filming for personal emergencies and for grieving. Your actors are human beings. It's disgusting how money is prioritized over human beings in show business.
Wow, after hearing Naya talk, I'm so getting her book. She was speaking what my mindset literally was. RIP Naya, thank you for your strength, love and hardcore honesty. You'll be remembered always. God bless you. 💙💙💔💙💙😔😔
regarding her comments of the pool and slippery surfaces, it's ironic that in the end it WAS water that got her. So Sad! She was a talented young lady.
@@ls_swifty5883 seems Lea was still at least a bit of a diva before their relationship when she said "with my personal feelings of Lea to the side" guessing maybe after the relationship she got worse....
@@ABisexualGod yea I saw an article a while back were lea insulting someone hired to play her lookalike and Cory went back and and apologised which just highlighted for me how different they were even back then
I think she included that bit as shade towards Lea tbh. To show her that she wasn’t the only girl Cory was interested in. A little uncalled for but I understand why she did it, given their history.
"Corey's gone and I miss him. And that is what It is. The only consolation is that I always trusted god has a plan for me and he must have had one for Corey too, even If I don't understand It." So ominous and tragic...RIP Naya
but she also said that she thought the relationship could be good for him. she never really said whether or not he changed for the better or worse. i get not liking lea but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have any good qualities aside from the bad...a lot of people think they made each other better, even jenna ushkowitz said so!
@@user-kq4eb6os9s exactly I think that was a very disgusting thing to even put in the book, especially when she said they didn’t understand addiction. Lea has absolutely nothing to do with it and even if they weren’t together he would’ve still taken an overdose
@@kieramcgregor she didn't insinuate that he changed for the bad, just that he was hanging out less with the cast. She was his good friend, she is allowed to notice the changes and comment on it. As a person who has loved and lost those with addiction, I found nothing wrong with what she said. Don't white knight it.

Lea didn’t care about cory she only dated him for fame you see how they’re relationship became strained in 2013 you noticed as soon as Cory started dating lea he loses weight and got skinny and unhealthy and stared using again it was probably because cory couldn’t handle the pressure of fame and dating the most famous girl and lea wanting kids from him he probably needed drugs to self medicate the pain and trauma and pressure poor cory couldn’t handle anymore so god just decided it was his time he needed to be In heaven with god❤️
She has a nice voice for narration as well as singing, its soothing, she will be forever missed
i am convinced cory and naya were absolute soulmates, or at least twin flames. there's not a day that goes by without me missing them. rip, angels. fly high.
Can’t they just be very close friends 😂 why do y’all try and do stuff like this? Lol they were very close friends and that’s it.
@@kieramcgregor well twin flames can just mean really close friends and there is platonic soulmates
@@2turg_2furious right but there is also just close friendships too, I don’t understand people who stan others so much they put them together 😂 a friendship can just be a friendship
@@kieramcgregor yeah exactly! they were close friends and no need to ship em
twin flames and soulmates don't have to be romantic??? y'all are literally making it like that when no one said anything about shipping them but y'all 💀
Cory’s death hits me so so much to this day... I was around 11 or so when he died, he was such an important figure in my life, I loved glee so much and I remember my dad coming into my room saying “Cory died....” and I just started bawling... May he and Naya Rest In Peace
Dang you were so young...I couldn't even grasp Glee at that age. I was watching Disney
@@Nonyah123 Same
I remember my friend texted me and said "did you see that Cory died?" and I literally thought she was doing some sick joke... I couldn't believe it and had to google it
@@sweetyalex99 I was to young to watch but k remember people talking about it and when my uncle said 2 of them are dead or googled it and was like no my Finny and oh oh my god puck why would you ewww!
I was around 8
I found what she said about Sean being so selfish and leaving her to grieve by just rolling over and going back to sleep interesting. It is stuff like that that really shows what people are really like and I'm glad she saw him for what he was.
Yeah that was very selfish!!! When my friend died my boyfriend was actually the one who woke me up to tell me and he held me until I eventually cried myself back to sleep. People like Sean deserve to be single for the rest of their life.
@@Stopit999yeah that's how it's supposed to be, that's the BARE MINIMUM a friend or partner should do, it's mind boggling how sean was so unnecessarily inconsiderate of the death of a close friend of his fiancé
It's so surreal that this is the last piece of art she gave to us
Not really. Her last part hasn't even been released yet. She's the voice actress for Catwoman in the upcoming animated film "Batman: The Long Halloween."
You are never a FORMER addict , you are forever a recovering addict IF you stay sober.
Poor guy, you can never drink in moderation OR take drugs in moderation.
We've been binge watching Glee during our Covid confinement, and it's so sad to see these two, Cory and Naya, breaks my heart. Too young, too soon, and just not fair. Naya made a mistake and Cory made a choice but I have an addictive personality (NEVER have done drugs) and smoked for 50 years before quitting cold turkey but even knowing and feeling how horrible is was and how it was affecting me, it took me all those years to stop. I "get" why Cory couldn't stop. RIP BOTH of you.
Naya should NOT have taken responsibility for Cory he HAD been confronted, he had been to rehab several times. Sometimes, bless their hearts, people just can't kick it and it has nothing to do with those who love them.
I always have so much compassion and admiration for Cory and his view of his addiction, I always understood that it was an illness. One of his friends wrote, about him; I think we have to understand that the disease of addiction makes you think your driving the car and then slowly moves you into the passenger seat and it starts to drive- it lies in wait.
Cory was an unbelievably good guy who somewhere along his life got lost and made some bad decisions but it wasn’t like he didn’t try to help himself, he did multiple stents in rehab and unfortunately lost to his disease. That’s the part that gets me as naya said “it was so unnecessary”.
Congrats on quitting btw 💙
As a recovering addict, you can have every opportunity in the world in front of you, and it doesn’t matter when you’re in active addiction. And you’re never safe, I have 3 years sober and have to make calculated decisions every day to keep myself headed in the right direction. I will never be able to casually drink. It’s heartbreaking, but no one can make you get sober. You can even want to get sober and still not be able to. I mourned Cory’s death so personally like it happened to my own best friend, if only I had known back then I’d lose so many friends to drugs that I’ve grown numb to it. Addiction is a terrible disease.
for some people, complete abstinence from all substances actually makes it worse. I know there's a lot of former addicts who are able to drink in moderation out there. In a way it's the all or nothing thinking (all 12-step programs telling people if they even drink a little alcohol they'll slip back into addiction) that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, imo. Hard to tell what could've happened differently with Cory though.
@@dangernoodle9961 As a recovering addict who has one intense story with many attempts of getting clean, relapsing, repeat, I agree that some of us can drink in moderation; I am one of them. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I had a drink, lol; that's how, not on my mind drinking is, but it was not always that way. For me, what finally worked, in the end, is finding what worked for me. I have nothing bad to say about AA or NA; their programs work for many addicts and alcoholics. I will say this, however, *I do not and will never recommend that any addict tries to drink in moderation while clean just because some of us can do so successfully; we are rare, and it's too risky to take that chance because most times than not, the alcohol isn't enough.*
it’s also worth noting that cory was hooked on drugs in his teen years and had to be resuscitated from an OD when he was 15. drugs got a hook in him early and really haunted him through his life
I got chills when she said “2020” at the end because that’s the year she died 💔 we all had absolutely NO IDEA about that when she published this book back in 2017
there is so much footage, interviews and photos of naya, but i don’t know what i’d do without her audio book. to hear her voice so plainly is like therapy.
I’ve just been crying about these two all night. I miss them so much. They were such pure selfless souls.
it gives me goose bumps on how well her own words describe not only Cory, but even more so herself... the irony is too sad. Both had so much to live for and were taken to soon... regardless of god's plan
What I think is remarkable is how OPEN she is. The reason I and so many others view celebrities as obnoxious is because they're so private, saccharine, politically correct and supply bullshit pageant answers. Naya told it like it was without any bullshit filters, and people LOVE that. It's who I aspire to be. Don't open people feel so so much better to talk to? Like, you can just trust what comes out their mouth without having to exert energy having to decipher what is ACTUALLY going on through all the privacy and lies.
how is choosing to stay private = obnoxious? they have the right to keep their privacy.
@@maira.azzara true. I think they meant that statement in a way that refers to stuff like plastic surgery or completing massive goals or being insanely successful, that kinda stuff, and keeping all that a secret to make themselves seem superior to the average person. I don’t think OP meant it in a way that celebs can’t have any privacy.
"I'm a former addict." That's a red flag right there. I'm in recovery myself and there's no such thing as a former addict. Maybe one day they'll find a cure, but there isn't one right now. If you WERE an addict, you are an addict, and you'll be that way until the day you die.
The drinking in moderation thing is completely relatable. We all think we can do it. Honestly, I don't know a single recovering addict who has been able to drink in moderation. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule, but it's usually a very bad sign. I would know. I've been dealing with this for over a decade. I really related to Cory because we both went into treatment at the same time. I was devastated when I found out what happened to him. I still am. I kind of felt like we were in this fight together.
He’s still looking over you and he would 100% be rooting for you, everyday 💙
im hoping you are doing okay!!! xxx
“Hindsight Corys gone and I miss him. It is what it is. The only consolation is that god has a plan for me, and he must’ve had one for Cory too. Even if I don’t understand it.”
Well that hits different now.😞😞
It does 😭
holy shit... Naya said "Just the two of us" in the start - the same line on her last Instagram post.
I’ve listened to a few of these and I just wanna say she had such a great narration voice. It’s so calming and with the perfection inflections and intonations
This is a very interesting audiobook. I've listened to a few clips despite not being a Glee fan. Naya seems like an intelligent, caring and fun person . Thanks so much for posting, I'm sure many of us appreciate it!
At the end when Naya was saying God had a plan for her and everyone else after Cory's death.. It just made me think about how they found her on his death anniversary. Cory was looking after Naya. I miss them
I saw my self in the character Finn and truly looked up to Cory. I was woken up by my sister telling me that Cory passed away... That same day I had to do a music video shoot. It was hard. I didn't know Cory personally but I looked to him as someone to follow. He was part of the reason I chased/chase my music career. This is truly amazing to listen to. Thank you Naya and Rest in Peace to both of you.
Broo my face the whole time :
😁😂😉😇🥰🤩🤪🤨🤐🤒🤕🤧😨😭🙏🏻😱😖😣💔✋🏻👉🏻💅🏻🤳
What she said about the pool and "miss step" around a body of water gives me chills.
This is so upsetting. I hate drugs, I hate that awful things happen to good people. Rest in Peace Cory and Naya. You are so missed.
I find myself coming back here and to other clips of her audiobook. It’s just nice to hear her voice and to hear her POV again because Naya wrote as if she herself were talking. Man, I miss hearing about her on the news over a new role or some drama. Really miss her. She’s the first celebrity that really upset me when she passed. Rest well Naya!
David Bowie and Alan Rickman dying were awful for me. I was a wreck for several days after they died. They kept their illness private, so it was a major shock for their fans.
I had tickets to db’s Salzburg concert in summer 2004. He pulled a shoulder tendon and had to cancel that show and the Vienna show, and I vowed to never miss another opportunity to see him if he toured in America again. But he died before I could ever see him in concert.
Sudden deaths like theirs, like Naya Rivera’s, Cory Monteith’s, it’s very harrowing. We aren’t personal connections, but their work influenced my life in so many ways. 💔
“God has a plan for me, even if I don’t understand it.” Damn this just hit Soo fucking hard. RIP Naya 💕
idk how anyone can think she killed herself... and in front of her child no doubt. This woman LOVED life. She didn't wan't to die. She wanted to live a long life. She lover her son, her friends and her family. Her death was an unfortunate accident, she was trying to save her child. It is incredibly disrespectful for people to innacurately portray her as being suicidal. Just plain ridiculous the lengths people will go to besmirch someones name and spread lies. RIP Naya, you will be missed. And I hope when your son is older he can listen to this
I can't express how much hearing her say : "I've always trusted that God has a plan for me" is so terribly sad.
Religion is rough
Glee was my entire life growing up. I started watching in 2010 and fell in love with Finn AND Cory. I remember so clearly the day he died; I was 13 and I locked myself in my room and sobbed until I fell asleep. Both Cory and Naya have touched so many people. Rest In Peace to them both 💖
this has me sobbing. cory monteith’s death still sticks with me to this day. rest in peace to both of their beautiful souls.
Naya explained how she felt about Corey passing away and how he had more to offer which is the same way we are feeling about Naya! I miss her.
Santana, Brittany, & Finn were my favorite characters on "Glee"... I'm a recovering addict, I happened to relapse on 7/13/13 after a couple years clean. The next day I found out that Cory died. I have survivor's guilt about so many of my friends dying, but also about Cory, & I've been mourning Naya since last July. This breaks my heart.
My best wishes for you and your health! I have never addicted to any substance, but to my understanding relapsing isn't the same as failing. I hope you'll always find a way to recover if it ever happens, the strength, and the support that you need.
PS: We have the same favorite characters haha. Amber Riley is in my list too.
@@nanwijanarko1969 Thank you Nan! I’ve been doing well for 6 years now, but it took a coma to get me there. Amber’s on my list too, she is such a kind-hearted soul. God Bless & thank you again ❤️
@Cian MacGana You should get a hobby
I love that I can tell she wrote this herself. Her personality really shines thru in a lot of the wording
this is so hard to listen to.. literally made me feel sick with grief.. glee was everything to me growing up. i was devastated when cory passed and then when naya.. i couldn’t even believe it. they had such amazing souls and i know they are both dancing and singing together in heaven.. it’s still so so unbelievable to me and hurts more than any other celebrities who have passed. rip cory and naya (finn&santana) forever in our hearts ♥️
I was 7 when Cory passed, my nan watched glee while it was streaming, I only started watching glee summer 2019 and I am so thankful I did, I have become such a better person thanks so glee I cry every time I watch the quarterback episode and people say if u cry so much don’t watch it, but it’s a way of remembering someone who was special to you no matter if you have met them or not, when I found out about naya going missing I didn’t sleep for days I was always on the news refreshing the page for new news I thought she’s gunna be found then when they found her on the 13th I instantly knew Cory helped them find her, I fell to the floor and cried my eyes out, naya was a big part of my life as all of the other glee members, I didn’t sleep for days I was crying because she was gone, I am in a national lockdown I cannot leave my house nor the country, when I found out where naya went missing I wanted to go to lake piru but I’m 15 and I know my mum would not let me go to another country alone, I look at the memorial fans have done and it is so lovely how many lives naya has impacted on Cory too he has made peoples lives come true, I wish I had met him and naya. I wish in the future I could meet the glee cast
The way they both effected and changed people’s life’s was incredible. They both deserved so much better. I honestly find it hard to believe that people that amazing, generous loving and kind existed in this rotten world. I miss them beyond words.
I was 11 when Cory passed
I didn’t believe it at first till every news is on
even talk about his life I cried so much
till after hearing naya gone wish they’re still here :(
I was 14 when Cory passed away I was in shock at first when I read an news article and then it started sinking in and I was telling myself it wasn't true so I went downstairs and asked my mum if it was true and she didn't even have to ask what was true she knew what I was talking about and she told me yes and that if I wanted to cry it was okay that's when I broke down and ran backup stairs crying 7 years later when naya went missing I had hope that they would find her but then on 13th when they found a body I just knew it was her losing both Cory and naya has broken my heart glee was the only thing that got me through high school and bullying and i miss them both so much
Cant believe these beautiful angels had died the same day. I will always cherish there love for them. 💞
This is even more tragic in hindsight
I finally watched the quarterback episode. Had to come back to this. RIP to cory and naya
“Funny when you’re dead how people start listening” I still can’t get over it. My heart still breaks for her and it makes me so sad that she’s not around anymore 💔🕊🤍
The hardest things about becoming older is that you outlive the stars and heroes of your youth 😪😪😪
This really makes me emotional 😭 hearing this it's a shame that Cory and Nayas lives were cut tragically short they both were definitely gone too soon it's just so tragic may they both RIP 😭 ❤️
I've randomly listened to a couple of these clips today, and for that bit of time, I honestly forgot that she's not here anymore. It wasn't until I was already crying about Cory, and she said 'I know that God has a plan for me' that it hit me again. Just like Cory's death was unnecessary, hers was too. Wish the best to both families xx
Some people don’t just get on heroin from a sketchy dealer or a pressuring friend. Sometimes doctors prescribe you heavy painkillers that are extremely addictive and when you run out of those most people turn to heroin.
When she was talking about mike I was like ‘ America’s greatest dad’
And that is how you diffuse sexual tension. Laugh about it. Make it seem natural and choose not to act on it.
It was very coincidental that the two died almost on the same say as each other. Rest in power Cory and Naya. ❤️❤️
Ariana dated Sean too... Poor her and Naya
I thought Naya walked in on them during the engagement. Ariana knew what was up, but she learned, as some women have to, he'll do it to you too.
@@aiku111 walked in on them making music on the couch
@@aiku111 naya said in an interview that she’s sure that nothing was happening between them at that time other then making music
And now he’s with jhene aiko.. honestly he deserves none of these lovely ladies
Between this and her having to beg for only ONE day off from work for an abortion, I am horrified at the showrunners of Glee. You can pause filming for personal emergencies and for grieving. Your actors are human beings. It's disgusting how money is prioritized over human beings in show business.
Rest easy our beautiful Angels ❤️
naya's life story deserves a show on its own
Corey had so much to live for
That just hits hard
That one drink Cory thought he could handle was the beginning of his downfall.
Wow, after hearing Naya talk, I'm so getting her book. She was speaking what my mindset literally was. RIP Naya, thank you for your strength, love and hardcore honesty. You'll be remembered always. God bless you. 💙💙💔💙💙😔😔
regarding her comments of the pool and slippery surfaces,
it's ironic that in the end it WAS water that got her.
So Sad! She was a talented young lady.
Gosh this makes me so sad. Naya and Cory are together now. Thank you for sharing is nice to hear her voice and how she was good friends with Cory.
Damn I was excited to listen to these and now I’m over here crying. I love you naya, man we miss you so much 🥺💔
The way this chapter ends hurts so much now that she’s gone too 😭
Okay I'm crying
A Closer Look 💔
This was heartbreaking. I‘m crying, I miss both of their lives here so much, their deaths are so unnecessary
I still cry so much during that episode 😭
I’m crying
I’m honestly confuse how Cory and Leah were a couple
She must of changed at some point after or during their relationship
@@ls_swifty5883 seems Lea was still at least a bit of a diva before their relationship when she said "with my personal feelings of Lea to the side" guessing maybe after the relationship she got worse....
@@ABisexualGod yea I saw an article a while back were lea insulting someone hired to play her lookalike and Cory went back and and apologised which just highlighted for me how different they were even back then
I guess opposites attract
He was one of the best persons ever and she was the oposite she was horrible and a monster idk what cory saw on her i bet he was to good🥺
it hurts so much even more that she’s gone as well. rest easy cory and naya❤
My sons dad passed away at age 26 from heroin. Really broke my heart. I was 23.
10:20 this part breaks me
God had the same plan for both, and she could'nt understand it while she was alive
I just heard it and feel so sad :( RIP Naya
I miss both these angels so much 😭😭😭
This is so sad, knowing they're together in the afterlife. Thank you for sharing this Naya!!
The fact she said hindsight is 20/20
listening to this gives me goosebumps now 😔
They both went away too soon =/
It saddens me so that both of them are gone, they were such lights
The end😞
This was oh so beautiful especially the end when Naya was talking about gods plan 💜
I started tearing up at this😞😭
She put him in the "friend zone". He cleanly wanted more lol
I think she included that bit as shade towards Lea tbh. To show her that she wasn’t the only girl Cory was interested in. A little uncalled for but I understand why she did it, given their history.
merely watching the quarterback episode was depressing, imagine having to BE A PART OF IT
Sad to think everyone would be mourning for her as well. It really makes these recordings that much more heartbreaking…
Poor Naya and Corey 😔 I believe that the two of them are in heaven together.
the way naya was probably gonna make another book too, but then… it’s just so heartbreaking.
When she said “maybe god has a plan for me “ I was so sad 💔
I cannot believe they are both gone now. 🥺
Thanks for upload this. ❤️
Also, what a dick was Big Sean about the situation.
"Corey's gone and I miss him. And that is what It is. The only consolation is that I always trusted god has a plan for me and he must have had one for Corey too, even If I don't understand It."
So ominous and tragic...RIP Naya
When she said after lea he changed my heart dropped...
but she also said that she thought the relationship could be good for him. she never really said whether or not he changed for the better or worse. i get not liking lea but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have any good qualities aside from the bad...a lot of people think they made each other better, even jenna ushkowitz said so!
@@user-kq4eb6os9s exactly I think that was a very disgusting thing to even put in the book, especially when she said they didn’t understand addiction. Lea has absolutely nothing to do with it and even if they weren’t together he would’ve still taken an overdose
@@kieramcgregor she didn't insinuate that he changed for the bad, just that he was hanging out less with the cast. She was his good friend, she is allowed to notice the changes and comment on it. As a person who has loved and lost those with addiction, I found nothing wrong with what she said. Don't white knight it.
@@kieramcgregor i think she put in that he was different after dating lea to imply that the whole cast was less able to keep a watch on him and was less able to see how he was doing
How much y’all wanna bet Sean reacted the same way when he found out Naya herself passed away? What a fucking joke 🙄
