R.I.P. Michael Jackson

I didn't think Michael Jackson's death would really have an effect on me, but seeing all the news coverage and listening to his music has made me really sad.

Although he was hit with all those allegations, it doesn't change the fact that he was an extremely talented artist, whose music touched many people around the world.

It saddens me how unhappy he was in life, with the abuse he dealt with from childhood, his insecurities and the way he was portrayed in the media.

I hope he has found his peace.
