Blurple

I tend to make life more complicated than it needs to be.
I do my best to remind myself everyday that simple things
can be the most rewarding and they can be ruined by analytical mindsets.
I am very analytical, which isnt always a bad thing, but it can atually cloud beauty and refection. 
It tends to balance itself out. And having good friends always helps too..

Yesterday I spent hours  trying to figure out the technical color of this flower I took.
Violet, periwinkle, indigo, blue, purple..none seemed to match. 
I was getting perturbed because colors are very significant to my photography it was germane that
I named the picture by this mysterious color.
My best friend took a glance at the photo and 2 seconds later said, Blurple.
I laughed with doubtfulness.
When had she come up with this word..?
To my amazement it is a color. It may not be defined in Webster
But it is defined in various other places.
And mentally matched the photo perfectly.
Mainly because it cant be defined with a technical color,
it needed to be made up and merged from two.
Much like you did with words when you were 5 years old on the
playground and and things in life were easy because you made them that way.
Sometimes the answer you are looking for, is quite simple
childish, outside of the box, and frankly more silly than you expect it to be.
Thanks friend.
