This may have been discussed before sorry I've missed that train. Back then when I heard these songs I would cry mostly about him (Prince). Now I'm 30 which I can't believe and don't know what to expect I find myself dancing and singing to it, lol. How crazy is that?

I have never went to any of his concerts I feel like I have missed the most important event in my life but I do see him on dvd and television so it's no so bad. But I would love to have a chance to experience his concerts.

I did have this thing when I was a teenager on how I was going to set the path on my life. I would graduate from high school; go to college or join the military to be stationed at Minneapolis to meet him or go to his concerts, it didn't matter how I was going to do it. Well, these plans didn't go into play for some reason. However, I did go into the military and got stationed at Fort Bragg, NC.

I wanted to be his lover but I wouldn't stand a chance because I didn't fit in that beautiful girl category. I have this cute or I'm cute for a brown skin girl thing going on (this is what guys would say) This pretty boy I have liked in college told me he was looking for a dime piece and I told him I am a dime piece. His response was no and he described what a dime piece was and boy did that hurt let alone how I felt about myself. That's another subject for another time. Just wanted to share my thoughts.

As you could tell I don't post that much here. Please be gentle.

I see you've been here for quite some time Miss Thang, but yes I Would Die 4 U and When Doves Cry are definitely classics

With that said...

Please never say this again (@ the bolded)

If you're American the media is full of bullshit asserting that women with melanin are somehow sub-par to ... well, European looking people. This bothers me whenever people ever say (implicitly or explicitly) bullshit like that.

I could write a thesis about this So let me end on a short note: Beauty is subjective, so be you, and be proud. Fuck that pretty boy, fuck Prince, fuck whoever makes you feel like you are somehow less pretty because you're brown. Sounds curt, but you get what I'm saying
