Red Is Powerful, Red Is Me
Red represents the person I want to be
The only colour I’ve ever liked is red, ever since I was in kindergarten and first learned about the different colours. Red was the only one that caught my eye.
It was just so beautiful, so perfect, so complete in every way possible. It just screamed, SARAH, in a way that 4-year-old me didn’t quite comprehend yet.
Truthfully, even 21-year-old Sarah doesn’t really understand why I like red, but I like to think that it’s because, in my mind I associate the colour red with power.
Powerful is what I want to be. I want to have power over my life, my career, my future.
Power to me doesn’t mean that I have control over people; power means that I have the ability to influence my life and other lives, the power to change lives, the power to ameliorate lives. Power to me means that I have influence. That’s what I want.
The fact that my favourite colour is red might be just a random fact about me, and maybe I’m reading to much into this. But I like to think 4-year-old me already knew the kind of person she wanted to grow up to be. She wanted to be powerful, she wanted to be a force of nature, and one day, she will be.
Key Message: My favourite colour is red because red is a powerful colour!
