The palette of life

The palette of life. A box of chocolates. A traveling carnival. So many ways by which to frame one’s world lens. How to approach life is a daily question and struggle for her. She didn’t tire of it but she was filled with everyday skepticism.

Blue was her color of late. But she wanted to be orange. Today she had a major decision to make. She wanted the right one. However, it was going to be what it will be. To end the moment or keep it going?
