a little light went on
…Well, at least for Jackson Wang it did.
The general consensus is that Jackson should be eating his words. Or at least taking the time to reflect on what he said at that concert in London. The situation was so polarizing and made me think, “Why? Why did he decide to do that?”
But this isn’t about his actions weeks ago. This is about what people have noticed. They say he doesn’t look happy and that his drinking problem is so sad to see. He actually admitted to it. Yet, in the divide of his fans, some defend it saying he doesn’t necessarily have a drinking problem while others say he, in fact, does have a drinking. And regardless of what I think, I believe it’s a little weird how when fans comment on his appearance (saying he looks sad, and I hope he’s doing okay, he seems to be struggling, etc etc etc), there are other fans who are like, “I appreciate your concern, but we shouldn’t make Jackson worry. So, I think we should stop talking about his appearance…” Yet, I’ve expressed genuine concern along with everyone else. Why not comment on it? Why not point out the obvious? He looks sad and exhausted.
Of course he’s not perfect, but he looks like he’s struggling with burnout and his mental health. He needs to rest.
A fellow fan brought to my attention why fans are still commenting on his appearance and mindset, and they said this:
“….In one of his interviews, he said that there's one light bulb in his house that he never turns off. When he returns home, seeing that light makes him feel that after a day of hardwork, when all the people and camera no longer surrounds him, there is someone/something that awaits him in his home, and that's the light that is always turned on.”
And I think about this short movie I watched titled, “A Little Light Went On” that the music duo Matt and Kim posted on their YouTube channel. The premise is basically about a new product that’s been released in the market. It’s a lamp (or a thing with a lightbulb in it). After you buy the lamp and set it up in your home, the lamp may or may not turn on. The only way it turns on is when a person is thinking of you. The story went on to depict that when there were people’s lightbulbs who never went on, those people opted to make themselves disappear or they fell into a deep depression.
In a very sentimental perspective, maybe Jackson’s holding onto the fact that someone’s (a lot of people are) thinking of him and that he still matters. Maybe that means more to him than empty declarations of love from fanatics, and the love from his family who love him very much but he may feel disconnected from (due to how he sees himself). It’s the thing he can come home to.
He’s glad the light went on. And it stays on. I’m not sure if what I said makes sense. But maybe I can understand why he keeps the light on.
