Trying to Be Cool Is anyone else trying to be cool right now but feeling very angry? I'm so mad. Surprise, surprise.

I (and the other orgers) know how you feel. I listened to some of his music today, but I also made sure I didn't get tunnelvisioned in it. I went out, ran some errands and visited my family. We watched some films on Muhammad Ali and it made me feel better (and I miss him too). It's ok to feel the loss, but try not to stay mad too long. It's not a good place to be in...we're all trying to get through it. | |

...maybe watch some funny movies or visit some friends to ease the pain.

Am I hot? Nah. Do you know why? Because I'm C-O-O-L!!! It isn't easy. But I've decided I just have to continue carrying him with me always. For me, this is not the end. Saying it's the end means there is no more to this life and I refuse to believe it. We will meet one day =] Until then, my young life is short. I'm tired of being sad all the time. I miss him and the best way to move foward is to be the best musician I can be! The way he would have wanted it. I find some comfort in that =] As for you, have you tried talking to someone? Most of the things you post seem very sad and you seem so lost. Obviously you have us to come to always but you seem to not know what to do. Moving on does not mean letting go.A few weeks ago I didn't even know if I could continue living. But I'm growing. You just seem very sad, and rightfully so. But what makes you happy? Where are all the places your joy comes from? Please try to wrap yourself in those things. The devil is a lie and he tries to keep us down. Don't let that ugly heffa win!!!    <3 | |

Lol oh no! Not that! There can only be one 1999. I haven't been angry a lot and it's been varying degrees for various reasons. I really planned to watch Purple Rain and can't. The birthday thread has me crackng my up though. Like live Orging Purple Rain. Surprise, surprise.

I told my friends that I guess I'm going through the stages of grieving. At first I was in denial. The fact that he passed away was not penetrating my brain. The day he died I came home from work, stiched from BET to MTV to VH1 all night into the morning, partying to his music. I didn't watch the news. In between breaks I saw the tributes, but I just kept saying, what? Prince is dead? It did not sink in. Now I'm at the sad stage. I'm trying to celebrate him on his birthday. I told my girls at work to wear purple in his memory...But I am sad.
I am predicting that my next phase will be anger also. I don't understand how any doctor could prescribe that kind of drug to a man who was 112 pounds and had a dependence on perocet. It is horrible because that was not the way he lived his life...He was a health nut.
As I heard a performer say this weekend, what a legacy that he has left behind. If part of that legacy is to bring attention to a problem that is affecting so many others, that is also an awesome legacy to leave behind.
I will continue to mourn this ultimate performer and extremely generous and caring human being. It is our loss...Prince is just fine... He is at peace.
God bless you my brother. Love you always. | |

Why did we have to lose him is selfish but also we didn't want him to suffer. This is a mystery a controversy as his life was. Had he confided in someone ? Did his Drs know his pain. But the Persona we knew was so strong he though he could handle it. God needed him I hope he can communicate thru the music he left behind. In time we will accept this not now but someday. Rest in purple I hope he is n all his glory. He always talked about it. Let's love that we had him.. At all, | |

And he got me into music. There at the core is part of the problem. And I do talk to people and we are all sad about it. I just saw some friends for the first time and they wanted to talk about him. So it's been kinda weird. It comes on top of other stuff too. I am totally lost. I'm functional though! Just so you know. this just blows. I guess his bday came to quick after, if that makes sense. Still stuff to process before I can be "party" ready I guess.Surprise, surprise.

Let's love that we had him.. At all, I really don't mind not getting answers to most of those questions. I have my own head cannon about the whole thing and would never really believe what anyone but he told me. Maybe Phase 3 is the true confession. I'm mad at myself for not getting to Paisley Park while he was alive. That's where My anger is at right now. Maybe less angry more salty. [Edited 6/7/16 19:58pm] [Edited 6/7/16 20:00pm] Surprise, surprise.

God bless you my brother. Love you always. Thx so.much he most certainly believed in his God, I have no doubt he is surrounded in endless love for he gave us that. We feel that loss but have to find a way to keep experiencing all the music the looks, the absolute beautiful being he was and is 5o all he touched in this life. | |

I was trying to be mad, to avoid being sad. But I've been choked up all day.

From birth till now he's been a part of my life. It's sad but I'm just now starting to learn myself without leaning on him all the time. Still can't listen to his music on the regular which sucks because I listened to him everyday since I can remember.... Anyway I can relate and I'm glad you're doing okay. And yes, his bday came fast. Did you celebrate ? I didn't since he really didn't so it seems weird now. We celebrate him everyday though =] <3 | |

I was doing better and then the results came. I thought I was prepared for it. I couldn't really listen to anything. Blah! I'm glad the org is here for all its intrigue. Surprise, surprise.

I should though- perhaps I need the cry. Surprise, surprise.

I bought a tribute mag with his face on the cover today. I listened to a Prince mix by accident, flipping around stations. It can be too much for me. I have mixed emotions. I go through the range. Some days I can listen to his music, lots of it, but there are some songs that I cannot bring myself to listen to. Goodbye, for one. When I listened to Future Soul Song, and it got to the part about the surrendering soul, I lost it. It will be a while before I can play that one again. It feels so weird. It's true, but sometimes I forget it's true. I think about Prince when I see a bag of Doritos in the store, look at my rollerskates, see big hoop earrings. Small, silly things can trigger it. I have had people approach me, or send me messages, those who are just now getting into Prince. He had to die for you to get his music, get what he was about? I never thought it would end this way, or be like this. He's in the Big White Mansion. RIP Prince | |

He's not here in pain, struggling with his illness, so at least I know that. I'm not angry but when God pulls that number its next in line. I'm slowly leaving that denial stage. I still feel as if he is somewhere in paisley park submersing himself in his work or at least an hiatus but maybe in a year I'll understand a little bit better (maybe) [Edited 6/7/16 21:35pm] | |
