Now
that I am a free student for a while, I have been having tons of ideas about
what posts to do.one of them came when I was looking around my room lying in my
bed, doing nothing at all, and figured that I was kind of surrounded (and kind
of burried) with purple stuff in my room, from my bedding to my walls and the
case of my Blackberry. Then this idea came to my mind… why not write a series
about the Purple Mania that's going on in my room? (and life if you might as
well say it).
The
first topic I will be, as the tittle of this blog states, the purple elements
in my room. I don't know it started, but I kind of gravitate towards purple,
some might say that purple is not a well defined colour, but it has always been
pretty to me. I am one of those persons that just don't want to admit that a
book actually influenced this behaviour, but it totally was a book which made
me gravitate towards it. I remember reading the book "The Color
Purple" by Alice Walker, which in the imagery of it (thanks Miss Wendy for
teaching me actual literary language) included a lot this color. In one of the
papers we had to present, I investigated about the meaning of this imagery, and
actually found out a lot of meanings, the one that I remember the most, is that
Purple represented the royalty, monarqy and it gave status to the people. We
have a winner!! I know now why I always gravitate to that color and, of course,
you know now too.
Going
back to the main point, my room. I am
writing this post as I stare to the only purple wall in my room. I have a huge
tree painted on my walls, it covers two of them with the branches and the
leaves, and yes, the leaves are PURPLE,
oh my, Purple everywhere. Here is a picture of it.
Pretty
isn't it? My adorable mother helped me draw it and then I painted it, love my
art forward mother.
Another
purple element in my room, is my blanket, which is very cozy and warm and makes
me happy, specially in this cold weather we are having here. Oh and also, a
smaller blanket, which is lilac, a shade of purple.
Yes
that is an animal print pillow cover (guilty pleasures revealed?)
Now,
I am peaking over my dresser and I notice my infamouse Happy Birthday Balloon
my parent gave me when I turned 15, which is proudly going to turn 6 this
Tuesday.
This
is it for this series, I will try to upload them everyday or every other day!
I
hope you enjoyed my purple room elements!
