      this time her hurt made her strong but for others it wasn't . i really think she took Phyillis Hyman's death personaly but others are haunting her because she survied the drugs and those were taken away and she practically at the age they passed. i really think she's lonely in her success and her story needs to be told because now druga is starting to get to the younger generation social media is squealing on them while they are here. sadly Kriss Kelly had friends around him while on social media while using drugs and never saw the next day, his death still bothers even me. i live in florida and all drinking is everywhere but doing both is rare here. Mary's story is the bridge to all others.

    Because every day I have to remember that I forgave you...

    When my mom was dying of breast cancer. I mourned her death while she was still here. I would go home from spending the day with her and I would go up to the spare bedroom. I would have some liquor with me and I would play Mary J. Blige. All of her album's. Songs from movies soundtracks. Everything she did. But no album has ever done for me what My Life has. I would sit in that room and sing and cry and cry and cry and cry. Sometimes for one hour sometimes for 8 hours. I couldn't leave until I was done for that day. My husband would not bother me no matter how long I took. Many of nights he went to sleep with music banging the entire house because he knew that what I was doing was saving my life. I don't say that lightly. This is my truth. It has been 8 years now that my mom has been gone. Only god knows for sure but I can't say I would be here today if it wasn't for Mary's music. I grew up on Soul music. So it's always been in me. It's like medicine or food or air. The words on her records are me. Not a little or similar...word for word. Her music feeds my soul. And I thank God for that. And I appreciate Mary for that. For me before Mary there was Marvin. And after Marvin there is Mary. God bless

      Mary has mastered the art of "Always saying less than necessary". Speaking less adds to her mystique because its never a good idea to make people think they possess you, which also prevents you from appearing too common. When you speak less, you're implementing distance between yourself and your listeners initiating a thought provoking process which causes people to take a more introspective look at themselves to fill in the gaps. They then project whatever their thoughts and feelings are at that time onto your words, in the same way as you just did with your comment. In this way, the conversation becomes two sided leaving listeners with the idea that they partook in some shared visceral experience with the speaker. "Her answers are so raw. She's so real....Relax, Mary was just being selectively honest Sweetheart 😂 😂 😂😉
