Lighting Up My Life.

I have always found the idea of light, as a symbol for hope, God, freedom or truth an interesting one. Colour fits in there beautifully. The eternal dance between these two forces is what gives our world vitality and life, adding Dimension and Richness to the canvas that is our universe.

But the point of tonight's post is to reveal the colours that light up my own life, and draw out different parts of my being.


Orange- It turns out, orange is an important colour, one that represents a group of warm, loving women, who are strong and steady influences. Somewhere along the line you became an essential colour. Didn't even see it happening. And now I can't imagine life without you.

Fuschia pink- you're so full of life, love and optimism. I chose this colour because you wear this beautiful pink sweater, and because you're so bright. The future is ours!

Little Red- you rock out a red coat like no-one else I know. And you've got a fair bit of fire. You make me feel like almost anything is possible.

Any kind of Blue- I could have chosen pink. But, blue because you make me calm, you're my voice of reason and a constant companion. Blue skies are one of my favourite things in the world, and you are one of the most important. You keep my grounded, we've had our rainy days but you're always there.

Black- I once wrote a description, but it turns out you're no longer a fixture in my life. You're a shade that's passed, and a reminder of what I have left behind in search of better things. You're beautiful, solid, unchangeable, but you don't represent anything important to my present.

Turquoise- You're changeable and you confuse me like no other. But you're the most beautiful thing in my life, and it's starting to become clearer to me now. You encompass everything that is light and dark in my life, my past, present and future wrapped up in your elusive composition.

Green- You're the hardest to admit. For you, I could write novels and never come to close to understanding. I think I can only accept.

Purple- The more I think about it, the more this seems like the most fitting colour. Lilac, soft, easy on the eyes, soothing. And sometimes, dark, bright, furious purple. Full of depth and richness. A tangible and intense beauty, that leaves me tempted to tip the scales. Maybe it would be easier to just arrange you in horizontal layers and lay vertically, equally immersed in both. If I could get close enough to do that.
