Childhood dreams for me are filled with wonders and possibilities. like a puzzle, you have to start putting the pieces together to complete the puzzle but sometimes those puzzle pieces don't fit. That's what my childhood was like. My plushies, my favourite shows can be lost or forgotten but when the time is right. you'll find the missing piece to complete the puzzle and that is you. The different puzzle pieces fill you with memories of either great joy or sadness. You should cherish it, be proud of who you are. Colours can reflect your emotions and memories. But it also demonstrates your mind around the world. My colour palette tells you the amazing years throughout my childhood days as I got the last missing puzzle piece for myself. To keep it safe. Keep that last puzzle piece because it's a precious and fragile piece. Just like my childhood.
