He just gave up

it isnt really suicide, like sticking a gun to your head, it is more like just a surrender.

he was alone, and in pain.

he had climbed every mountain and won every award.

like Monroe and Dean and the rest who went young, history has a special place like it or not.

going out like Elvis is never what you want, even if it is not explicit in your own head.

and no one was more aware of what it meant to be a "star' (baby) than he was.

EVER.

so one day after a recent close call you just cocoon and kind of forget how many you took an hour ago.

it isnt really conscious, and it isnt a cry for attention.

you just get tired of the highs and lows and slip for a long enogh second.

part of me still cant believe he is gone, and part of me is almost glad he is.

Well I'm glad he's not in pain anymore...as far as giving up that's not even Prince's MO. He was just sick.

Sounds like an awful lot of over-reaching unless you have intimate knowledge of his mindset. By all accounts and appearances, he was engaged as much as ever in his current tour, hosting parties, recording new music, finding new inspiration.

Yep...the org made a whole thread begging him to rest n he didn't. If the plane stuff is true it was his wake up call to rest n he didn't.

Because Prince listened to the advice of anyone -- much less people he didn't know on a website.
