She twirled the paintbrush in her fingers, thinking hard on what new could she paint. The whole morning, Daphne had spent in her room holed up, drawing anything and everything she could. But still, she wasn't satisfied.

Her gaze landed on the violet colour of her pallet. She had always loved the colour. She liked how the color was a perfect mix of red's passionate emotions like anger and love, and that of blue's serenity and peace.

To Daphne though, violet represented trust and responsibility. She wondered how it was a blend of two colours from opposite sides of the spectrum. And wasn't life supposed to be like that? A perfect mixture of both happiness and sadness, of losses and of gains, of love and heartbreak. Wasn't it supposed to be filled with both anger and calmness?

With those thoughts, she finally knew what she wanted to paint, and the strokes of violet colour soon filled the empty white canvas.
