I like purple. It’s as simple     as that. Well, maybe not that simple.          I’ve in love with purple. We are unified through time and space     forever until I die. Purple, being immortal,         would mourn my death and find one of its many followers to connect with.     But for me, there will always be purple. If I had a choice         in any expression of character design that had my own personal preference of color, purple     would be there somewhere. I would dye my         hair purple if I could, but my mother told me never to come home     as long as my hair is dyed.         I love her and believe her, so I don’t dye my hair. I have a     purple dress or two that I dress up in to express          my beauty. I know it sounds terrible thinking     about it, I have to dress up to express          beauty to others. However, the fact that I’m complemented means something to me. The way     I do my makeup and carry myself          and choose to dress, it has an effect on those that lays eyes upon me. I beam with pride,     showing all my expressions of purple.  A homemade purple bow          here, a lavender wig there, a dress with the right touches of purple-     maroon          and a beaming mahogany woman, brimming with specialness. I am a purple girl,     not the only one, but the most reflexive I can be.          If I could color my soul, it would be purple sometimes. Not every time, but a lot of the times.  Any kind of purple      would do. The light purples           like lilac and light lavender are sweet and fluffy. They remind me of happy seventy-five degree weather       days with a comforting breeze, and no pollen           since I’m allergic and pollen is pretty much one of those things I’d encounter in hell. Darker purples,       like plum and grape, give a more mature            vibe of elegance and sophistication. It reminds me of a dark night, a woman in high heels and       a dress with a slit so high that            it makes men lose their religions and minds for a taste of her tantalizing forbidden fruit,        with a flawless expression of her body that gives             those men wet dreams and fantasies. In my heart, there is a purple stream that flows from the heart that starts to         circle around my body and continues to float into the              ground until it touches the core of the planet and up in the air into space and beyond infinity.         It always seems to be there, that purple              stream of magic and imagination. I dance a purple dance, leaving traces of purple steps in my wake.         So I come back to the beginning. “I like purple.”               With those words, I haven’t done my expression justice. It’s true, but it is an understatement.
