I came across this tag - #mynameincolors - this morning on @the_victoria_helene's article, and I fell in love with it a little bit. I won't do my usual spiel and blabber on about nonsense for several paragraphs, but I will put a link to her article here:
I guess now would also be a good time to point out that my full name is Bridget, so I'll be using that instead of "Brie", which is kind of a nickname.
B || bronze
“As bronze may be much beautified by lying in the dark damp soil, so men who fade in dust of warfare fade fairer, and sorrow blooms their soul.”
~ Wilfred Owen
R || rose
“Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet. Funny, it seems to by keeping it's dreams; it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.”
~ Tupac Shakur
I || ivory
"Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord why don't we?"
~ Paul McCartney
D || denim
“I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.”
~ Yves Saint-Laurent
G || garnet
"Garnet represents primordial fire, the creation of the world out of chaos, purification and love. It is a stone of strong, intense feelings."
E || eucalyptus
"I remember the lights turning into blurs of blazing fire. I remember the air-conditioning chilling my arms. The smell of coffee smudging off into the smell of eucalyptus."
~ Lucy Christopher
T || turquoise
“Our love will blend together like turquoise is blue and green. There’s no depression or envy when both blur into one.” ~ Jarod Kintz
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this article.
