^ You're experiencing extreme stress?! Oh no! I hope as the day continues things will calm down for you; here's a scripture or two for you to stand on that I wil pull outta my head, um, "My peace I give you, My peace I leave with you" and "Cast all your cares (anxiety) on Him, for He cares for you" and , oh a longer one, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, with prayer and supplication, and thanksgiving, make your requests known to God, and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus." Knowing me, that last one could be a hodge-podge of different translations, for I have memorized it my past with a couple different ones, so I mix them up all the time, and yeah.
haha. Stress Go Away!
So I had to go back to your post to figure out which question of yours Paris answered. This is the only one I found, I think...
MP said:
...if she had ever asked her dad about his songs and if they were about a particular person or if he just sang them to sing 'em.
Did she respond to any of this? :wild: If she did I think I must have missed it, but THAT would be interesting to learn, both if he told her some of his songs were about a particular person, and who the lucky lady was.
Wow. That could resurrect this sickly thread a bit. :lol: We'd be back in the game. 'Cause I've been thinking, nah, we've all been wrong (Ash being the exception, of course!!!), and the LITD girl never, ever was (meaning, existed). And this thread has therefore been made up of page after page of delusional thinking and a bunch of fantasy. Gosh, and ouch, that would kinda hurt after all our affection for it. But...the truth is more important.
That's why I can appreciate Paris telling just enough details to not betray anything sacred or personal, but enough detail to help those who were entertaining the idea that they were the love in his life, or that they know someone who claims to be, that no...it isn't a match...can't therefore be them. And that will be hard to receive for some, probably, but perhaps after three years of MJ not being here and with him no longer being seen here and there looking al handsome and cute and stuff, to "feed" their fantasy, they may be more ready now to receive the truth, and be able to move on without feeling destroyed. Do you know what I mean? That is the healthy thing for them...much better than believing in a lie, even if it is a wondeful lie that makes them feel hopeful...it still is better to recognize the truth and accept it.
I'm sad if any of this does make some females out there sad. MP, you mention, Shana, but Paris was asked about her specifically, and pretty much made it clear it wasn't her. And I hope that has not hurt Shana, and that she will be able to still cherish whatever times she did have with MJ in her past...but move on. She is still young and beautiful and seems sweet. There must be a wonderful guy left out there just for her.
Some have wondered about Rushka, but Paris gave a detail that could seem to rule her out as well. But like Shana, Rushka has special memories with MJ that no one can take from her as well. And all the more discused "MJ women" that fans have loved talking about, those that would be considered "known" to the public, Paris has said this lady is not a celebrity, so that takes care of that...one would think. But then again, when someone wants to believe something badly enough, they will often respond on the defensive and/or disreguard the information given. *sigh*
So, I dunno,
MP, you think the LITD girl still could have been a reality for MJ? You don't think we should give up on her that easily? Some of AllForMJ's posts, and SoS's, too, were very, very convincing in that they had lyric after lyric, song after song, that sure made it SEEM like he was in love with some girl that he couldn't be with, but wanted to and he could "feel" her. Maybe it was all just for entertainment.
Magicgirl, my goodness. I am glad you are all right and in one piece after that close call! Maybe God sent His angel to hurry you along when you broke out into that run.
To respond to your thoughts about how much could a girlfriend really do, and your comments, too, MP, yes, I keep thinking MJ had a mind of his own, especially in things regarding his career... would anyone be able to stop him if he was full speed ahead on doing something?
Forever unanswered questions. I don't think I'll be mad at the girl, though, if she was around and yet, he died, for I don't want to be angry or mad at anyone, for in the end giving myself over to that emotion and staying in that place of anger, I am the one who loses in the end. Best to go to bed at night giving all that anger up, and let peace reign in your heart instead.
Although, MP, I really enjoyed this paragraph of yours!
MP said:
Now I'm beginning to feel Ash's anger. If there really was a 3-D in his life, where was she on that fateful day? Couldn't she protect her man better than that? I think if it had been me, I really woulda been those people's worst nightmare! You've really gotta look out for your man - especially someone in MJ's position who would be so vulnerable. Or ... was MJ so strong-willed that nothing would've helped?
We're back to STAND BY YOUR MAN!
Anyway, I've done a lot of yada yada yada,
Thanks for posting
MP and Magicgirl!!!
EDIT: hi,
wire, we don't really know for sure if MJ read this thread. But staff did awhile back confirm to us that he did come to MJJC and checked out some threads.
