Watched a bit of a interview with Michael Jackson this evening. I've done a decent amount of research on the king of pop and it amazes me how many false reports about his lifestyle there was.
I tend to keep my drama out if Twitter because there is already so much of it here but I felt like opening up a little bit...

There have been people that will swear up and down I only friend people for advantages or that I intentionally use them to better myself...
... The people that get to see the real me on the internet know that I genuinely care about my friends. They're a very important part to me. I don't intentionally try to hurt my friends and I will help them as much as I possibly can. I'm willing to work hard for them...
... I also thought about another's thing Michael Jackson said about forgiveness and forgiving the people publishing these articles and whatnot. Forgiveness is one of the hardest things for people. I still haven't gotten over something a family member did 4 years ago...
... But I am actively looking to work on it slowly but surely. As much as I want to call out the people making the false claims and want to not forgive them, I must ask myself, "is it really worth it?".
I don't know these people and I know my real friends will trust me because they know me. It's because of those reasons I shouldn't hold grudges and forgive them but I can also look into how I can just block it out so I don't get angry...
... They may say bad stuff about me but as Michael Jackson said, the people hearing this hopefully will try to get to know me and find out that I'm not the monster some people make me out to be.

Again, sorry for bringing any drama onto Twitter.
If you've gotten to this point, thank you for reading this thread. I hope I didn't bore you too much.

ELIJAH OUT!
