PINK

Like a summer evening breeze in California
You can feel the wind touch your skin and it envelops you in a warm brisk hug.
Your mind is conquered by one thought, the everlasting picture you painted with the breeze.
Some may say that it's nothing but bland or basic, not realizing it's so much more. 
It is gorgeous and luscious, it's soft but bold at the same time. 
The stronger it gets the more confidence it has. 
It's a symbol to stay strong and be confident, although it has it's shyer hues. 
Mixture of something so pure like white ivory and a bold feather of a red macaw. 
Everyone wishes for the confidence that it encompasses. 
A statement piece and a subtle sense of uniqueness. 
You fall in love with it and all that embodies it. 
You realize how much you find yourself in it and the beauty you have. 
Day by day you get new reasons why it is so beautiful.
The amount of joy that it brings you and how much more confidence you having it. 
You cannot smile brighter. 
Everyday you look at yourself and think the same way it does. 
Suddenly the color pink engulfs you with everything it has. 


I chose to write about this color because I wanted to represent Breast Cancer month. I think it's so important to realize how much power the color pink has, it embodies the amount of strength that the survivors and fighters have. I look up to those that take on the fight everyday of being faced with such a horrible thing. Although it is bad, it gives us a chance to really reflect on life and gives those not dealing with this a different perspective on life. Breast cancer happens to many around us and can even happen to us one day although I think staying positive really leads you into a happier life. I cannot stress this more when I say that pink is the best color to represent this. Pink embodies the amount of courage, beauty, and perseverance that these people exhibit day to day. Those who are dealing with this, stay strong because you are beautiful and although at the moment it may be hard and you don't want to fight anymore but this fight is worth it. You have a community dedicated to helping and a whole entire month for you to be reminded how much you mean to the world. I strongly encourage people to love pink because it portrays the community that has been built to help people with breast cancer. I have never had the experience of breast cancer but many have and I've seen them win this fight. But no matter what, you will always be the winner because your legacy will carry on in the heart of the community. You keep fighting and winning because in the end you are pink.
