RIP Prince

The legend has passed.

31
RIP Prince
the guardian

Many people are grieving due to Prince dying this past week in Minneapolis, Minnesota. On April 15, Prince had a close call on his plane where it had to be emergency landed due to him being unconscious and then rushed to the hospital. The University of Minnesota is even thinking about awarding Prince with an honorary doctorate and were considering this even before his death.

People are still mourning and creating memorials for him. There are many rumors going around about a possible drug overdose despite his previous anti-drug comments. He apparently suffered from severe stage fright and in order to cope with that he used Dilaudid and Fentanyl. According to different publication, he overdosed on these medications. Also according to different publications, there is no known will. According to NBC News, he has one full sister and she stated that there is no known will. She filled out the paperwork to administer of his estate.

I find it hard to believe someone with that much money does not have a will. In property alone he has $27 million. Another aspect of this news article stated that it is suggested that for Prince money was very tight. He was 57 and randomly just died. No one knows why either. The autopsy has not been released to the public yet.

There is talk about Prince having some underlying health condition that the general public was not aware of. We all want to know the real cause of his death. He was just really young just to randomly pass. I mean sure it happens that way once in a while, but not often enough to think twice about the situation.

Many people are very upset and as they should. Prince changed the music world forever. "Purple Rain" and "Stare" are by far some of his tops songs that most people know. Prince has helped many other musicians grow and be free to express themselves. For example, I heard on the radio that Kesha actually broke into his house to give him her demo before she got signed. He did not freak out or anything. He just laughed and took it. How awesome is that?

Personally, I would not have the guts to break into anyone's house especially if they are famous but kudos to Kesha for getting the nerve to do something like break into Prince's house. she was saying how she’s surprised she did not get any in trouble and how cool he was about the situation. She went on to say that if she did that now it probably would not have been okay and that if she was to see him she would give him a big hug. The whole situation could have ended very badly but Prince was just an understanding person and did not want any trouble. Many looked up to him due to how he cared so much for everyone and their wellbeing. Rest in piece Prince, we will miss you greatly.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
