Hi, wholesome reader!
This post is an entry for the blogging contest with this week's theme, hosted by @lifescape-tribe. I'd also like to give a special mention to @jane911x for inviting me to join this wonderful challenge, as it's my first time participating and writing in this community.
So, I read that this week's theme is the color violet.
To be honest, it took me a while to decide what to write. As far as I know, I’m not that fond of the color. Surprisingly, when I checked my gallery, I realized I am actually quite drawn to it. I hadn't noticed until now.
Magical Hues
I’m a big fan of the sky, especially when it transforms into a magical view. When pink and violet hues appear, I can’t help but capture them every time. I hadn’t realized how many photos I’d saved in my gallery—my little sky collection.
I know sunrises and sunsets happen every day, so why bother taking lots of photos when you see them daily, right? But for me, taking a moment to appreciate the sky makes me more grateful for life. It’s in the little details that we feel more alive.
Color for Passion
When I think of violet, I immediately associate it with passion. While scrolling through my gallery, I realized how much I link the color to my life as a Swiftie. I almost forgot about this—what a shame!
I’m a huge Swiftie, so when events are held in my province, I attend whenever possible. In 2022, when Taylor released Midnights, I joined a listening party organized by a local fan group. Guess what? The theme was blue and violet!
It was the first fan-organized event I attended after the pandemic, and I was so happy that day to see my fellow Swiftie friends.
Purple Haikus
Last but not least, though I mentioned I’m not particularly fond of violet, I just remembered my collection of haikus about purple things. I can’t quite recall why I wrote them, but it’s fascinating to read what I created years ago.
In the end, it's funny how a color I thought I wasn’t fond of has played a significant role in my life. From the beauty of violet skies to the passion I feel as a Swiftie, and even the poetry I’ve written about it, violet has quietly become a meaningful hue for me.
Sometimes, it's the things we overlook that hold the most magic. I’m glad this challenge helped me reflect on that. I invite @ruffatotmeee to write something for this blogging challenge. ☺️
Thank you for reading my post up to this point. I hope you have a great time ahead!
I'll take delight in writing for you again soon.
Love,

Oh, beautiful violet. The sky turning into that color is seriously magical talaga no. So pretty and bright. Sadly madalang ko makita yang ganyang color samin, huhu.
Anyways, violet, I think I own blouse in violet color but then, diko na din sya sinusuot as of now. I'm still in love with black. Lol. I'll try to come up with something, hopefully, meron 🙉
