I’ve always thought that purple or blue flowers were unnatural. I remember seeing the florists in my town color white carnations when Fourth of July rolled around to make them blue.

Purple is color full of meaning. Royalty, sympathy, sadness…

And that is what overwhelms me while I am sitting next to the window. Looking outside, I can see people on the street busying themselves with the work that have. From the second floor, I could see Damien throw some bags of cotton easily onto a wooden cart. I had nothing to do. Women are useless, they say. Women are nothing. Women are needed for nothing except for children. That is their only purpose in life.

It’s disheartening.
