#23.

things i like: the colour turquoise.

i really like the colour turquoise. i think it is my favourite. i can't say for sure, because i am fickle with colours.

i used to love the colour pink, the colour of the warm flush that spreads across your cheeks when you simply feel too much. then, i had a brief affair with seagreen, the hue of the salty sea and my favourite nail polish. i loved yellow dearly, because it was the glittery heart of my favourite flower, daisy.

but i like turquoise because it is the colour of dreams. i've loved it since i opened the cover of 'captain corelli's mandolin'. since then i've always associated the shade with greece, the place that my wandering Heart longs for. the place where the sun just shines differently, where legends of heroes and olympus thrive, and where one can frolick in a white sundress to the tinklings of a stringed guitar.

yeah, i guess it's my favourite.
