Your being provides the star that brightens my galaxy and the force that strengthens me. Love, Michael. I`m never pleased with anything, I`m a perfectonist, It`s part of who I am. Me and Janet are really two different people. My mother`s wonderful. To me she`s perfecton. The Bee Gees who are brilliant, I just love great music. I`m happy to be alive, I`m happy to be who I am. Great. I just got to kiss the most beautiful girl in the world. I hope I`m worthy of her. I think I might marry her. I am bewildered at the length to which people will go portray me so negatively. In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. In a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. I`m just like everyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarass easily. The greatest education is watching the masters at work. | ||
