SPOILERS





What I really loved about Michael Proposing and the several episodes leading to his departure, is that Michael exhibits behavior that makes you question how he even manages to make it on his own. It's really quite scary when you see it.

From Classy Christmas Michael is an insufferable jerk, he can't even navigate Scranton on foot by himself, and doesn't understand that gasoline is explosive. But leading up to this we see him learn to accept constructive criticism (Threat Level Midnight), accept that Todd Packer was a jerk and not a good person (Todd Packer), and he even managed to not be self centered and not make last day all about himself (Goodbye Michael).

I don't know if it was intentional, but I think we were supposed to see Michael as this guy that had he left Scranton and the office, he probably wouldn't be alright. But with these several episodes we see Michael capture the love he was always looking for, and transform into a man that we as the audience feel comfortable knowing that this man is going to be okay now.

One of the most emotional scenes of the entire show is when Jim realizes that Michael is leaving that day, but keeps up the charade because they both know that it's too difficult to say goodbye. That was an incredibly emotional scene and you can tell that the emotion from both actors was real.

I think it goes hand in hand with him finding the love and acceptance he had always so desperately seeked. From his appearance on Fundle Bundle as a kid, he just was someone that struggled to fit in and needed somebody to share happiness with. Holly was his soulmate and brought the best of him out from behind his constant effort to fit in.
