It's True.

I'v lost my best friend, have you seen her?

Ha.

So I take it this means I'v been going about things the wrong way?

No bullshit.

My whole life I'v had that attitude. I was the kind of guy who could get himself into, and out of any situation as needed. In some ways I'm still that person. But as of late, I think I'v lost a bit of that. I feel as if I'm no longer in control of my life...

Stuck.

What does it mean to be "stuck"? The words "caught", "fixed", "trapped" all come to mind. . . Is it really possible to be a product of your environment, which coincidentally set you up for failure? These are all questions Michael finds himself trying to answer everyday. He once wrote:

"There comes a time in your life
where you must question yourself.
You'll say "am I doing right,
or am I playing myself?"

Normally one full of answers, Michael has none. He is every sense of the "stuck". He knows what he wants out of life, but what does life want out of him? Is Michael Franklin destined to be great? Or Is he just another person who didn't live up to his potential? Will he rise out of this rut, or will he just become another example? These are all questions that will remain unanswered. Maybe one day He will solve this equation. Perhaps it will even solve itself. In the end, who really knows?
