Series: Women who don’t let themselves be dazzled

Sometimes words fail to express what lives inside us. Then colors speak – in shades, in light and shadow, in vibrant tones that make something inside us resonate.

💜 PURPLE – the whisper of depth. The color of longing, the silence between thoughts, the magic that shines in the darkness. It carries stories of change, of transformation, of everything we once were and can still become.

💗 MAGENTA – the explosion of being. Wild, uncompromising, full of energy. The color of rebellion, of freedom, of those who cannot be pigeonholed. It burns, it pulsates, it challenges you to show yourself – as you really are.

💕 PINK – the gentle power. The warmth of an embrace, the tenderness of a dream, the courage to carry your heart openly. Strong in its softness, wild in its gentleness. A reminder that vulnerability is not a contradiction to strength.

These colors are more than just pigments on a canvas. They are a mirror of the soul. An invitation to recognize yourself in them. A reminder that you can be all of these things – profound, passionate, gentle and powerful at the same time.

I was sitting in a café the other day, the first warm rays of sunshine on my skin. I leaned back, watched the people around me – and then I noticed it:

Women with big sunglasses everywhere. In deep black, shimmering gold, eye-catching pink. Some were nervously playing with their straws, others kept glancing at their cell phones as if they wanted to hide behind the screen.

And I asked myself: is it really just the sun that we are protecting ourselves from? Or perhaps also from stares, from questions, from moments when we feel vulnerable?

I know that. Putting on these glasses and feeling safer for a moment. Gain some distance from the world. But at some point you have to take them off – and look yourself in the mirror.

What is it that you are hiding behind your glasses? And how would it feel to simply take them off?
