The Neverland Escape......



           Never land was a place where Michael could be himself and not have to hide. He could be free of the judgement, prejudice, hate, jealousy and the dishonesty that were outside of those gates. Never land allowed him to be in a place purely filled with love, hope and magic. In Never land Michael had his animals which he said he could relate to better than people. He also had his train, candy, movie theatre, rides and trees to climb but most importantly he had some privacy. Since Michael couldn't experience any of these things outside without being mobbed he built Never land to make up for that. It was a place where he could live out the childhood he was never able to have. Never land is a place where you can escape and leave all of your troubles behind and bring out and discover the inner child that is inside all of us. It is also a place where under privileged children and children who are sick with cancer or other illnesses went to be able to have a normal childhood for a day and experience things that they never had before.
           He would allow bus loads of children to come there and do whatever they liked. Michael was a big fan of Peter Pan and other Disney characters. He had many models of them through out Never land. I believe it was because of his love of people but also because it allowed him to be around people without them wanting something in return .judging him or screaming because they are so excited to see him. It was a way for him to experience what it like to be around people and just be normal. Even though the mannequins and statues obviously can't talk, I think it was just comforting for Michael to have their presence there. He also had beautiful paintings done of himself. I was able to meet Michael's personal artist David Nordahl. He has done so many famous paintings of Michael, which you can see a lot of them through out the documentary "Living with Michael" and in other interviews. You can see some of the videos giving you a tour of Never land and Michael having fun there.
