Hi guys. I have been trying to join this forum since the day of Michael's passing. I have desperately needed to talk to other MJ fans ever since then. I've been his fan since I was very little, I was 7 when I first heard MJ and got into it and now I'm 25. He has been a huge influence on my life, and his music has inspired me in so many ways, as it has with countless other MJ fans around the world. When he died I was in total shock. I literally sat there staring at my computer for minutes while my heart was beating fast, my mouth open from the shock and I couldn't speak a word. My bf asked me what was wrong, and I could't even speak and tell him what had happened until like a minute has passed, I couldn't utter a word. My world collapsed. I didn't cry at first, it was too unreal, but the first thing I did after the initial shock had passed was to put on Man In The Mirror, and then the tears started flowing. It was like the song and Michael spoke to me, I decided right there and then that I owe it to Michael to "use" his passing to change my life around and instead and try to make something of my dreams (I love to sing and dance), and since then I have been playing his songs all day every day, mourning his passing but at the same time drawing inspiration from his songs and his personality while trying to improve my singing and dancing and trying to improve how I treat those around me (using his love as an example). I hope that others can follow my example and, in the midst of this incredible tragedy, try to draw something positive from this tragedy in terms of improving ourselves as people and doing our best to accomplish our hopes and dreams. I think Michael would have wanted that.
