life: PRINCE is in the air





so, i’m sitting at my desk trying to find a thesis for my last english essay when my friend JADELLE frantically called me, telling me that PRINCE (yes, PRINCE) was supposedly at the VILLAGE UNDERGROUND. i sat here in my jammies not knowing what to do; i thought that if i got dressed and went, i’d end up missing him and i didn’t want to do that. then, i find out that they livestream their performances online, so, JADELLE and i decided to watch that, instead. there were people singing. they were good, BUT it wasn’t PRINCE. so, i waited and waited - i was getting antsy. then, the people who were performing started talking to him about how he changed their life and things like that. i thought he would then get on stage, but he did. however, i had hope… people continued singing (but by now i wasn’t watching i was just listening) and a lady said “you should put your camera away and feel the music.” but when i was watching no one had a camera out. so, i went to see what she was talking about. i see a lot of cameras and flashes, but it didn’t dawn on me, until i see this shorter light-skinned man in the background playing a guitar… REALLY?! can it be?! yes. yes is was. the one and only PRINCE. i called JADELLE back hyperventilating to tell her he was on stage.

to make an already long story short, he played the guitar for about 10 minutes (the BEST 10 minutes of my life). now, i am highly upset with myself for not going. i could have made it. BUT i got to see PRINCE in real time on a livestream.

i love this pic... "WHAT?!" haha

good day, trans.
