blaming michelle williams is not fair, people should be more careful

also i can't believe he was only 28, i assumed he was in his thirties omg

i miss him so much, goddamnit. he had his whole career ahead of him. i think what strikes me the most is that he was 28 when he died which is how old i am at the moment and i've been going through some particularly heavy shit this past year.

they should leave michelle alone, i'm not surprised she didn't want to be interviewed for the doco.

YIKES @ this whole part: Mia Doi Todd, a friend of Heath's, cites Heath feeling pressure from Michelle to be a "perfect husband and father." Gerry Grennell, another friend, said Heath "missed his girl, missed his daughter."

Gross, it's making her out to be someone who wanted impossible things from him, when the reason they broke up was probably perfectly reasonable on her end. Like she's somehow to blame that he tragically drugged himself to death?

I saw her live once and she was pretty boring. She opened for Jose Gonzalez.

I hadn't even heard of her before this. As shitty as her quote is, I'm reading between the lines and interpreting it as "Williams didn't want him to do drugs and be a flaky father because of it", but maybe I'm wrong. Which is perfectly reasonable to me.

That's how I interpreted it, too.

Don't blame Michelle, blame the drugs.
