This piece easily revealed itself to me during its initial stages. The colors, essence, and feelings it’s supposed to evoke. Pink provides feelings of caring,tenderness, self-worth, and acceptance. But the meaning of this piece took time. Weirdly life has a way of presenting itself along the way and these words from “The Vow” made sense more than ever. 

“My theory is about moments, moments of impact. My theory is that these moments of impact, these flashes of high intensity that completely turn our lives upside down actually end up defining who we are. The thing is each one of us is the sum total of every moment that we’ve ever experienced with all people we’ve ever known. And it’s these moments that become our history. Like our own personal greatest hits of memories that become our history. Like our own personal greatest hits of memories that we play and replay in our minds over and over again.The moment of impact proves potential for change. Has ripple effects far beyond what we can predict. Sending some particles crashing together and making them closer than before. While sending others spinning off into great ventures. Landing them where you’ve never thought you’d found them. That’s the thing about moments like these. You can’t no matter how hard you try, control how it’s gonna affect you. You just gotta let the colliding part go where they may. And wait. For the next collision.” Couldn’t have asked for a better way to word this <3
