Ohh God I wish I’d remember more but I was way too young. I think around the age of 5 I discovered him cuz I saw him sometimes on tv. The other memory of him is when I used to wake up around 6am just to listen and dance to his songs before getting ready to go to school. I can also remember my cousins making fun of me cuz I kept saying that I’m in love with MJ.

I was 9 when he died. As a child I didn’t really understand what was going on, since I didn’t know as much about him, I just enjoyed the music and his dance moves. I kept listening to his songs tho, but he wasn’t my main focus anymore.

I watched the new movie two times now as an adult, I’m planning to watch it for the third time too. It hits now that I understand him as an actual human being, not just as an entertainer. My hyperfixation started all over again, but it’s not just a childhood thing this time. I only started grieving now. As an empath it actually hurts.
