Prince and the Apocalypse

Jazelle H

Most of all I miss the girl I thought I was ten days ago, before I realized I'm the worst kind of traveler: the kind who just wants to go home.

Damsels in distress, like fate, are another concept I don't buy into. Girls with plans don't need saving.

"When you love someone, you can't help but shout it from the highest rooftop and whisper it in the stillest dark."

"She says love is an unstoppable force--like a hurricane or a...comet."

I want to kiss him because he's thoughtful. In a world where it would have been easy for him to turn out selfish and rotten, and he chose kind instead.

I realize if there are boats out there, they will find us, with the way his electricity is crackling through my veins. A bright spot in a dark sea. A glimmer of warmth and hope and goodness in the blackest night.

We're all born, we all die. And every fucking thing that happens in between those moments matters. That's what makes up a life.

If I'm starlight, you are daylight, chasing the shadows out of my mind. You think I saved you? I think we saved each other.
