Michael Jackson

1959-2009

Yesterday, "The King of Pop," as he was well known as, left this Earth. I've never really been a fan of Michael Jackson, if anything I've always been one of those who made jokes about him but the news of his death really shook me up.

Max and I had just left my house and were going out to eat when I heard the news & at that moment I wanted to be in my still quiet room all alone. Death scares me. And the unpredictable and sudden death of Michael Jackson reminded me just how fragile life really is. My least favorite part of life is death, which sounds like quite the oxymoron but it is in fact a part of life. It's not so much me, myself dying, it's losing the ones I love to death that I find more than bearable. Yet I know regardless of if I'm ready for it or not, inevitably it's still going to happen.

I thought about "Neverland," and all the wealth and "things," Jackson had accumulated over his life time. None of that matters now. In a quick instance and a draw of one last breath all of that was lost. All of that had no worth really to begin with. Life is about love & the people in your life. The memories you make and the legacy you leave behind. What do you want to be remembered as when you leave this Earth?

Live Your Life.
