Re: Present day MJ feel goods...
today my therapist was here (at my home), and we talked about Michael. she knows, of course, that he's a huge part of my life, and we have talked about him many times before...and she's not a fan, but she always does it in the nicest and most respectful way. like for example, today, she started asking me about his kids, and how he covered their faces in public. and I explained why, and she goes, oh, yeah, I can definitely understand why he would do that
so instead of going, omg that's so bizarre, he's such a weirdo etc., and being judgmental, like people usually do, she's really open minded, and it seems like she's really curious to learn about him, because she always asks me a lot of questions when we do talk about him. and it's always her who starts talking about him, it's not even me
once she asked me how old he was when he died, and when I said 50, she went, wow, you couldn't tell, he looked good for his age
:wub:
And once, we even watched michael, and it was jackson 5, and i was just waiting for the usual ignorant comments about his skin color, but no. None of that. She didn't even mention it
she just asked me some questions about His early start in show business and about his brothers and things like that. I was really happy, it is so nice to talk about him that way with someone whos not a fan. That's not at all what I'm used to
and I have absolutely no problem talking with people about these kind of things, and teaching them about him, as long as it's done this way, with an open mind. it's just a shame that these kind of people don't come along very often...
