Hello! I'm new, as you could probably already tell. Um, nice to meet you all, I guess.
I decided to join because I needed a place to fangirl over Michael without shame, and I find that difficult to do on social media (or even IRL... you never know what people might think, sadly enough, even though most people do seem to like his music).
I'm a 30 year old woman from The Netherlands and uh, well, let's just say that the story of how I became a fan of Michael is pretty interesting, to say the least. I honestly think I might make a whole separate post about it one day, because it's... quite a bit. But to keep it short, let's just say that while in the past I've always somewhat liked his music, I didn't really become a "fan" until... Maybe a few years ago? I'm really not sure. But the beginnings of it basically started with... well, "you-know-what", and my friend and a several other people who were defending him (I've never seen "you-know-what", and I most likely never will, because let's just say I'm uh, not exactly interested). But it basically made me reconsider my opinion on him quite a bit (which was never
entirely negative, for what it's worth). And... well, throughout the last few years I've just started to love him more and more! Not just because of his music and performances, but also the more I read about who he was as a person. Honestly, I see a bit of myself in him (more on that too in The Big Post) and that makes me even more angry at everyone who has mistreated him, even now 13+ years after his death.
I'll also forever beat myself up over the fact that I never supported him when he was still alive. Gah!
Other interests I have... Uh, well I just like music in general, but I also like to sing, draw/paint, write... I'm also very into healthy living (which I might also talk a bit more about elsewhere), I like animals, cartoons, fashion, cooking, and many other things that I'm probably forgetting right now.
But I'm sure I'll talk about it more along the way on here.
Anyway, I think that was it for now. Let's be friends!
