Dear Diary,
Last night I was watching the Michael Jackson funeral on tv. I must admitt I did shed a fear tears, well not a few, more like many, many tears. Its strange dont you think? You dont know a person but still you feel the pain that their family is feeling. I mean, I never knew Michael Jackson and I was far from the biggest fan but I still cried. I still felt that sorrow and pain that he had to deal with during his life. The feeling of constantly being judged by the tabloids, feeling lonely even though half the world loved him so much and never really having the oppertunity to experience a proper childhood.
I loved Michael Jacksons music, from the beginning to the end. There are plently of songs that remind me of certain moments in my life. The song, “You are not alone” always brings me back to the time when my parents had their divorce and I felt so lonely because I had no one to share my thoughts with. I turned to the song for comfort and those exact words “You are not alone” comforted me during the nights. I remember when me and my friends where “MJ crazy” - we wore our hats, we sang the songs and we had the posters on our wall. I recall one day when I was at my friends house wearing my hat I rang the doorbell and my friend opened the door with a knife pointing towards me. Apprently, the hat had reminded her of a murder - and apperently that was me. That hat was on my head for quite a while. But once it went off - my love for Michael never dissapeard. Secretly, I loved him just as much as I did before.
When Michael Jackson died I remember thinking it was a joke. To me, and to many others Michael Jackson was immortal. I guess thats why his death still hasnt sunken into me yet. Michael Jackson, just like Elvis and many other celebrities of our time have often been thought of as immortal. In my world, there was no chance that he would die. I could not imagien him being gone, not being able to prouduce a new album or preform at a concert.
Sadly, his loss - is someone elses gain. After his death Michaels music has once again flourished to its golden age. All the accusations, all the history of the King of Pop has suddenly dissapeard. Which is good, but so typical. So two-faced. Once he died, everyone appriciates him. The media and the music industry is bathing in money right now because of this unfortunate incident. The apologies are pouring in from every possible angel. Ironic huh? But as they say - You never really realize what you miss until its gone.
I will miss Michael Jackson. It will take some time to realize that he is gone. Whatever the media portrayed Michael as, I believe that we have no right to judge him. There is always two sides to a story. Michael was, and forever will be one of the greatest entertainers we where blessed to have on this planet. And in the end, that is what we must focus on.
