apologies

I have debated about whether to write this blog...is it worth acknowledging the comment? But I maintain that my blog is about my life. I write in it for myself, to vent and release my emotions. I write about pretty much everything and anything that bothers me, worries me or stresses me out.

My post on michael jackson was a one-off, I rarely write blogs about the world, mostly I just write about my life. So today when I find a comment on that blog I was surprised...mostly only my family and friends comment on my blog. The comment said something along the lines of:
"I'm not hugely bothered he's died" that's not a very christian thing to say. and I'm sure his family, friends and fans are just as devastated as you will be when your grandad dies.

And this hurt me. I don't know the person who wrote it and thankfully I moderate all of my comments, but it still hurt. I didn't mean to offend anyone with my blog on MJ, I didn't even know anyone outside my family and friends would read it. It's not that I don't feel bad for MJ's family and loved ones, I feel sorry for his children like I would any child who lost a parent. But personally I wasn't a fan of his music, I didn't look up to him as an icon, so therefore I wasn't personally affected by his death.
My grandpa's death will greatly affect me, I wouldn't expect a stranger to care though.

I'm sorry if someone felt I was being heartless by saying I wasn't bothered by MJ's death. It's not right that someone of his age should die...but it's also not right that a toddler is beaten to death by a teenager and it only gets a one-liner in the news because the media is so consumed with MJ tributes. I think his family should get to grieve in peace instead.

Like I said, I wasn't sure whether to blog about this because to acknowledge the comment might not be worth it, but this blog is about my life, about what I feel, it's a place where I can come to let out my emotions in a way that helps me.
And I will continue to do that.
Much love xxx
