when the light's out
and all of the fracturing starts
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it. - Alice Walker

purple is a color. its the beautiful mixture of warmth and coolness, a balance between the two. soothing yet invigorating. it represents royalty. in the olden days, purple was used to dye cloth only for the rich and royals because it was just that expensive and valued. purple also represents rebirth - being born again into a newer and better self. and last but not least, purple represents the the rare yet beautiful things in life. the little things that are worth a look - even a second look - but are often overlooked in the humdrum of life. purple reminds me to breathe and enjoy and thank God for everything and for the greatest thing: life.

…I used to be really cautious about mixing groups of friends, for several reasons.  Then, for many other reasons, I became EXTREMELY lax in that area.  And now, I am paying for it. -_- Que Tragic Music.

But right before the show, I was told that someone else would be dancing the part because ‘people aren’t ready for a black Marie,’ ” she recalls. She seriously considered quitting ballet until she got the chance to see black dancer Heidi Cruz perform with The Pennsylvania Ballet. “I was like, Wow, she’s amazing! She inspired me to keep dancing,” Michaela says.Read Michaela’s heartbreaking and inspiring story
