This will be my first post on this forum and I'm very nervous. I will be thankful for anyone who has the time to read this. This is so hard trying to put my thoughts into words. I know exactly what I would like to say, but only in my head. I'll give it a try anyway.

First, I need to admit that I actually wasn't a true Michael fan until this tragedy came and hit me. It hit me hard. Ofcourse I had always admired Michael for the music he made, but nothing else really. I do remember these tiny things from my childhood (I'm now 18), like when I got my blue MJ bed sheets and I thought they were really cool. I still have them and I'm so proud of them! But now into the point.

I was at work when my friend said that "Hey, did you already hear that Michael Jackson has died?" I was in shock and the complete day at work went with thinking about if that was really true or just a stupid rumor. When I got home, I checked it and saw the sad news. I spent the rest of the day just reading about Michael and watching hundreds of videos and pictures and listening to his music. That was the first time I had taken the time and effort to really see the real Michael and I was feeling so embarassed and sad that I had not done it before. I saw what I think everyone should see. I saw what a beautiful man he was, how everything he did, was from the heart. So pure and honest. I can honestly say that I fell in love with him that day.

I'm just so mad at myself for being so blind. Why did I have see and notice this beautiful, pure and warm hearted man only when it's in a way, too late? I would have wanted to show my love and respect for him, when he was still here seeing and feeling it. I seriously hate myself for that.

All the songs and the lyrics.. All those beautiful things he has made to help children. Just everything. I feel like he has changed the world. At least in my eyes. I see the world in a different way now. I feel like there's so much everyone can do to help each other and everyone should do their best do accomplish in helping and making this world a better place.

The more I learned about Michael, the more I cried and felt embarassed. I'm still crying. I feel like I have this huge knife going through my chest and throat and I just can't get it off and it hurts so much. I can't even enjoy the simple things that I used to, nothing makes me happy. I'm completely broken and I don't know what to do anymore. Everytime I have even a little better day going on, someone says something about Michael and sadness takes over me and there's the knife again. And the worst thing is that I have no one to talk about this. No one to share my love for Michael with. I keep these feelings inside me and they are slowly burning me down. Every night I fall asleep with tears in my eyes. That's the only time I can cry without no one hearing me, altought sometimes I wish someone would just hear and hug me.

I would love to finally get the feelings of embarrassment and anger out of me. I just have those feelings because I feel like I'm too late. I feel like every other fan will feel hate me for that and that's why I'm scared to tell anyone about my love for MJ. I should have noticed and enjoyed the greatness of him earlier. It's so frustrating, all the time, I just want to tell Michael that I'm sorry, so sorry. But what does that help? Nothing. I was hoping there would be even a one person who wouldn't judge me because of being too late and stupid. That this community would take me in and there would be even someone to share my thoughts about Michael with.

I will take my love for Michael with me to the grave, never letting it to slip away. I'll make sure if I ever get kids, they will grow up loving and listening to Michael.

I'm sure some of you might think I'm pathetic and hypocrite, but I just had to let this all out and it all came from HEART. I love Michael from the bottom of my heart and miss him just too much. I know we all do.

This felt so good to let this all out. Altough I'm like a huge waterfall again, after all these tears, but still. Just someone tell me a way to stop crying? I can't even listen a song without tearing. I would like to, but it seems impossible.

Love for Michael Jackson.

Love for Michael Jackson.


There you got it boy.. That's all you needed to say if you ask me! You're one of us, as much an MJ fan as every one of us who follows him for decades..
And don't worry about the tears. They will pass. We all have been or still are exactly there, with on and offs. He wanted to stay alive through his music, and that's what we will live to prove!
 
I really don't think anyone here will find you "pathetic or a hypocrite" -- you sound to me like a deep, intelligent and lovely person! Plus, I'm pretty new here myself and I've found everyone to be supportive and welcoming to all.

And I think there are lots of people worldwide whose eyes have only recently opened to the greatness of Michael's life and work. I'm six years older than you, but we're both from a similar generation and I totally see how many people around our age didn't immediately recognize his genius. For a lot of reasons: the media was so cruel and untruthful about him for almost as long as I can remember, and his music and signature style were so successful (and frequently imitated) that it felt like he was always there and always would be. A few of my friends near my age have asked me recently to burn them a CD of MJ songs or have commented with surprise things like "wow, he really was an amazing dancer" or "I didn't know he did THAT much work for charity." Many of my friends and peers thought he was talented but didn't really stop to realize how he revolutionized everything. I'm happy more people are seeing him as the artist and person he truly was, and our generation will carry on his legacy and never forget him.

I hope you can let go of the anger at yourself -- I can't imagine how it would feel to have all the intense grief AND that feeling about yourself. I send you hugs and warm wishes! And as everyone keeps saying here, You Are Not Alone.
 
Hi Alisans, I'm new here too and I know it can be terrifying writing on a new site at first but youre post was beautiful and thoughtful. I've said this before, but there's a saying "better late than never" so try not to feel guilty. You're here now, and you're a fan now, that's what matters. As for you writing "I'm pathetic and hypocrite", no I dont think so, and I dont think anyone else will think you are either. Youre surrounded by friends and fellow fans here, thats what matters. Please dont feel guilty okay?
 
Thanks guys.. I appreciate your warm words.

Earlier today, I told my little sister and my cousin to come and listen to Michael with me and they did. Then we watched a few videos from YouTube and I told them nice things about him. And told them about Neverland. They were amazed, but a little sad. It broke my heart when my 10 year old cousin said "I'm sad that I didn't have the time to get to know him earlier.."

I mean, it took them only the one hour that I think we used to search the videos and they are now tiny fans too. Cheered me up a little.
 
No need to feel bad Alisans. You're here with us now and you'll remain in our thoughts like every other member here. We're all here to stay strong for each other and to support.
 
wow Alisans your story is identical to mine.
i also feel so bad that i missed being a fan and seeing him perform live.
ive asked myself over and over,why! did i not see michael as i do now when its too late.
i have missed out on so much from michael and will take these feelings to my grave.
welcome to mjjc.
 
Alisans don't feel that bad about yourself.
If you couldn't enjoy being a fan before I just hope mjjc can help you enjoy being a fan a bit more, it is never too late to turn back to good!!!
 
Thank you everyone. You have no idea how much your kind words help me. I will try not to feel so bad about myself. I just need to learn how to completely enjoy Michael, without having those feelings.

It's nice to see people being so nice and receptive here. I didn't even bother to join this one conversation on another forum where they talked about new MJ fans. They were so mean and just dissed us. One of them said that she has no respect for the new fans at all. So I'm happy to be here, on this forum now, when I've seen that this is full of amazing friendly people.
 
you sound like a beautiful person . very intelligent and deep .ty for posting .
welcome to the family . :heart:
