Since the biopic dropped, things have felt like 2009 for me. My feed across social media platforms is filled with clips of Michael; funny interviews, live performances, bloopers, you name it. My YouTube searches look eerily similar to the 15 year old girl dealing with the loss of an icon that felt so personal to her.
It still does.
As we approach 17 years, my admiration and love has grown tenfold. I guess that demonstrates the immense impact Michael has left on so many of us, not only with his brilliance, but his incredible humanity and generosity. It’s arguable which one is more awe-inspiring: his gifts or his altruism.
Just as much as my love grows, so does my sadness. There are many, many things that make me deeply heartbroken about his life. But this year has been a beautiful experience to witness his name exalted as people remember their love for him. Seeing people share stories about their time with him, never before seen photos, fan interactions.. it’s just been incredible.
To know we’re getting further away from the time his presence was with us on Earth, makes me grief stricken. Who knew the shit wouldn’t go away? Lol. But alas, I pray Michael is at peace and knows how much we love and miss him. There is no amount of time that will ever change that.
With deep admiration and love.
