if you cared enough for the living
Michael Jackson's memorial (especially this) was beautiful.
His life was a tragic tale of a man who never grew up. At least after his death he will be remembered as what he was... a master musician and an American icon. Maybe if people had seen him like that near the end of his life, he would still be here today.

Book reccs
Lately, I've been reading books very much outside of my usual sphere, which feels kind of odd. I usually stick pretty close to fantasy or YA and romance books. But this has been very educational.
