#purple rain
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you– Prince Rogers Nelson

Prince bringing Purple Rain to Los Angeles, 1985, via guardian.
“Prior to meeting with Prince, his people routinely told me that their charge was an instrument of God. So it seemed only fair to ask Prince if he was a conduit for a higher power. ‘No,’ he replied, ‘I just practice a lot.’ ~ Adrian Deevoy in “Prince: memories of u”

【 紫の雨 】
小雨降る深夜の真っ暗な公園で、スマホのライトを当てて撮る…という、涙ぐましい努力の結果。（しかも撮ったあと転んだし。泣）
来年は華やかにライトアップした藤を観に行きたいなぁ。

Fun fact: Prince was the original intended actor for the role of Ruby Rhod in ‘The Fifth Element.’ Above you will see the costume design for Prince drawn by Jean Paul Gautier. Upon meeting with Gaultier, Prince didn’t say a word but was amused. Prince thought the costume was “too effeminate” for him. Though, the real reason for Prince not taking the role had been tour date conflicts. Of course, the role would go to Chris Tucker; who did a fantastic job with the colorful character.

Praise be to God
From the age of five I was instructed to take care of my Mum and Sister.
Why would anyone ask a child to take on such responsibility?
I wasn’t old enough to question the instruction, so did my best to adhere.
You see my Dad died when I was five, and at that time, my baby sister was barely one.
My Mum was constantly in and out of the hospital, managing an inherited red blood cell disorder.
I had no choice but to grow up, and do so fast.
Becoming responsible at such a young age was a gift and a curse.
I didn’t get a chance to enjoy my childhood, or my teenage years because I wasn’t considered a child.
Everyone who could, took advantage.
That being said, all my experiences prepared me for the many challenges I’ve been through and overcome.
I’ve always been wise beyond my years, and felt a sense of duty to care for my loved ones, before myself.
However, now I’ve established healthy boundaries.
I do things out of love not obligation.
I don’t allow anyone to emotionally abuse me or guilt trip me.
I don’t give anyone my hard earned money whenever they ask because they’ve been irresponsible with their finances.
I don’t allow anyone into my space if their energy isn’t right or aligned with mine.
I don’t wait for anyone’s appreciation, applause or approval, I don’t need it.
I don’t hold malice but where necessary I will keep my distance.
I don’t have any expectations so don’t get disappointed, just pleasantly surprised.
I’ve stop holding people to my standards, I know we are all different, and have different paths.
I’ve let go of all my hurt and anger
I’ve realeased all my past pain and embrace my present, while remaining optimistic about the future.
I love myself first
I prioritise my needs first and don’t apologise for doing so
I’m focused on my mental, physical and spiritual growth and that’s it.
I’m blessed and highly favoured
I let God guide my footsteps and walk confidently moving forward.
Praise be to God - Amen

I was gonna say “omg these are all me.” But these are all, quite literally, me. Also. Bizarrely accurate to my various personalities.
