Favourite Prince memory:
I was at a sleepover at when I was younger and I woke up in the middle of the night to hear my friend’s brother whisper-singing
Diamonds and Pearls.
So I got out of bed and snuck up on him and startled him by belting the chorus.
We ended staying up all night listening to the album together over and over again.
From that point on whenever we’d see each other, we’d hum it as a secret inside joke because we felt super cool that we stayed up all night together and no one was the wiser. I’ve never actually told anyone this story until now.
Diamonds and Pearls
was the first album I ever bonded with someone over and the first time I loved something so much that I broke the rules to enjoy it.
I’m going to miss Prince terribly but I’m grateful for how important he was to my youth. RIP Friend.
