Overview of summer and Michael Jackson - Man in the mirror

Hello!

Sitting watching the world go by and thinking Time's a weird thing...
This summer has absolutely flown by,  but when I think back to the end of June, I was actually worried that I wouldn't be able to fill 10 weeks of holiday. Though here I am, pretty much into my ninth week and feeling like I've accomplished things. 
It's honestly been one of the best summers for a long long time, if not ever; I've turned 18, experienced nightlife, read 3 books (seen as I couldn't concentrate enough for years to do this - it's pretty big news) , laughed/cried and pondered with friends, met some lovely people, started my TO training, started a blog, been to Italy for the first time... The list is endless. I've loved pretty much every second. I don't think it's always about being chock-a-block busy, just chilling with people you love is suffice. The best plans are the impromptu ones, after all.
 Sorry to bore people with the self indulged talking, it's just sometimes you don't actually realise how much you've done until you put pen to paper, or rather 'fingers to keypad'. 

The song I've decided on today, is to mark the 57th birthday of the one and only Michael Jackson, so it seems fitting to upload a song in honour. During his lifetime, his actions were (putting it lightly) controversial, but I don't write this blog to make a judgement on his personal life, moreover, his musical talent. 

Despite not being a 'die hard' fan of his music generally, I can appreciate how good a performer, singer and choreographer he was. His music was brilliant and he did change the boundaries other artists had failed to push before him. For this, we must be grateful. 



"Man in the mirror' is my favourite song out of all of his work by far and I feel everyone can relate to the lyrics. There is truth in them. Someone once told me "When everything is going wrong, look to yourself, it's the one factor that everything has in common". 

Sorry for quickly getting deep, I have a habit of doing that...
Have a lovely day,
Molly x
