Purple

I like purple. No, I love purple. It has been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. Lavender, violet, grape, the deep, moody hues can match the depth of my moods perfectly. Purple is the color of royalty, the deep colors of life. When you combine the coolness of blue with the heat of red you get purple. Yet for the longest time, purple has been ignored by so many. The fashion houses have ignored purple in favor of strange colors and combinations that have made me cringe. To be all honest, I have been happy that way, I would rather keep purple to myself. Let me keep the embrace of purple's mystique to myself. I have been unique in my love of purple. Most love the cool hues of blue or the warmth of red or even the sunny brightness of yellow, but not me, give me purple, the color of dreams.
Then suddenly there was the poem, 'When I grow old I shall wear purple' tm. and older women started wearing my color. Then others started taking notice of purple, and it became a new color for fashion. I had hoped it would pass quickly. "oh please let it pass quickly" I said to myself. It was too late, purple had found its home among the people. Now if you look, you can find purple everyware, in fact there has been a study that purple makes you happy and that people should wear more purple! AHHHHHHH! No! Not my color! Let it be someone elses color, not my purple! *sigh* I guess I have to come to terms with the fact that purple is no longer a quiet color that sits in the shadows, but is out in the world for the world to see. Purple is not just for me, but for everyone. I love purple and so should you.
