Touch, if you will, my stomach. Feel how it trembles inside.

I know times are changing.

Sometimes I feel so bad, lost in my shadow of pain, I feel like the sun is never gonna shine.

Lately, trouble winds are blowing hard, and I don't know if I can last.

"Somebody make the sun shine, somebody take this dark cloud away, help me, I'm drowning, mass confusion in my head"

Even the soldiers need a break sometimes.

Turn the lights off, strike a candle, listen to the groove and let it unwind your mind.

I don't know, I don't care, honey, let's go everywhere.

Take me to another world, take me tonight.

Without the help of a margarita or ecstasy, shoot me up, baby, let's take a trip.

Nothing's forbidden and nothing's taboo, it's all about being free, that's where I want to be.

Bring out what's been in me for far too long.

Tonight we're gonna jam from now until eternity, don't you stop, make it hot.

So long I have listened to your voice, I feel some kind of love for you and I don't even know your name.

Now my mind is open to poetry seldom heard, and I like it, I like it.

Plethora of euphoria in everything you do that keeps me satisfied.

Baby, baby, when I lay with you, there's no place I'd rather be.

You keep me happy, don't want this night to end if you're with me.

I want to meet you, kiss you, love you, miss you, and do it all over again.

If I'm stuck in some kind of groovy wet dream, don't pinch me.

I don't wanna wake up.

Take me away.

Above, 👁️ interwove lyrics from various Prince songs 2 convey what his music means 2 me. What does he mean 2 U? 👁️'d love to hear Ur thoughts.

No matter what happens, good or bad, the world keeps on turning so quickly, at dizzying speeds. It's easy to lose yourself in it all, but listening to his music is grounding, healing, and restoring for me. Without it, I feel like a piece of me is missing.

It's been over 17 days since he's left planet earth, I think about him every rising sun. Wherever he is, I hope he's having fun.

Remember 2 always have love 4 one another.

TORA TORA-28 DAYS

"Nice characters are boring" to YOU. I love characters who no matter what, will always have genuine love for humanity in their heart. Characters who dance and laugh and sing with sincerity. Characters who believe in others, and are willing to extend a helping hand to people when no one gave them the same luxury. Characters who have gone through so much but believe, no matter what, that humanity and life is something beautiful and worth protecting

He validated the things 👁️ was passionate about and the things that drove me. He acknowledged feelings that meant so much 2 me 4 so long, shared them with me, articulated them 4 me, and gave me clarity on them when 👁️ couldn't myself. He stripped me of my shame and inhibition about the things 👁️ found beauty in 4ever. He grounded me and helped me grow in2 my own skin comfortably when 👁️ regularly struggled 2 do so.

On this day, 👁️ remember The Artist that changed my life 4Ever.

This is what Prince means 2 me.

Share what he means 2 U here and remember 2 always have love 4 one another.

imagine if instead of garak, ziyal would’ve had pursued jake. how insufferable dukat would have been. ahhh commander sisko, it appears your son and my daughter are embarking on a rather interesting relationship! correct me if i’m wrong, but by human standards, wouldn't that make us somehow related? i’m now—how would the terrans consider it—your wife?
