“Life of Colour”

“Pure” and “White” are always to describe the beginnings of lives. Growing up, we could see colour from the sunlight’s, from the objects surrounding us, and learnt the word “beautiful”. We learn to pick up our favorite colour to drop on our “Pure” “White” life. So life could becomes colourful.

I love colour.everthing has magic colour. Happiness has colour, gried has colour, sweetness has colour, and bitterness has its colour.I can use the entirety of colour on my canvas to paint a colourful life.

Colour creates wonders. No matter where you are from, no matter what pigment your skin is, colour makes white become brown, yellow become white. We can swap colour but keep our own identity.

However, one day, I use white powder, black eye-liner pencil, pink blush and red lipstick to work on my face. When I walk proudly out of the house, I notice, in the street, all faces smiling. All exactly the same.
