What does it mean?
To live your truest colors
Feel liberated to allow your shades bleed through:
Red,
The passion we feel
The desire to be loved
Not only by someone else
But by the person who looks back at us
Orange,
The warm feeling
The kindness we must learn
To survive the bitterest moments
Appreciate each and every ray of sun
As it hides behind the horizon
Yellow,
The citric empowerment
The spark in our hearts
When we fall in love
When every day feels like a fairytale
As joy overtakes our sadness
Green,
The growth we visualize
The garden within flourishes
Ivys overtake our heart
Our insides covered in botany
We are fertile land waiting to bloom
Blue,
The moods we navigate
The oceans we must travel
To find calm
Soon the sapphire waters
Will be cerulean—
Purple,
The community we all have
The unity we’re all reliant on
Never alone are our hearts
When all come together
We overcome

Craft Over Catharsis Challenge Winners
Craft Over Catharsis? What the hell does that even mean? The phrase came out of a curation meeting as a genuine question. We had been noticing that many challenge entries, across prompts, naturally gravitate toward trauma, grief, and personal reckoning. That makes sense. Writing is often cathartic. It's one of the ways we process what we've lived through.
