Lydia+Color+Project

= // Grey // & // Green //: Nostalgia = I look at the grey sky through my window, rain drops lightly tap against it. It’s a typical Korean summer. It’s a Saturday. Finally, a day that I can use to escape from life. No need to worry about the test on Monday or the project thats due in a couple of days.

A lonely yellow box is sitting in the corner of my room. I wonder what it is doing in my room. It should have been in the basement. I touch the box, memories. Memories spread from the tip of my fingers to my whole body. I haven’t seen this box in a long time. Dust fills my nose as I open the box filled with 10 year old drawings. I slowly take out the drawings, one by one. I can’t believe that my mom kept these. There are drawings of dinosaurs, buildings, and creatures from my imagination.=====

=
I stop at one particular drawing. There’s a house with a bluish green sky behind it. This was my dream house when I was really young. I remember that I had planned every detail of my dream house. The house will be all white in front of a green background. There will be a field of green grass all around the house.=====



=
In the back, I would have a barn full of animals. White horses will run around the field while the brown horses will be eating the green grass. I think I would be pleased with just 2 horses. If there is more, I don't think that I can take care of them.=====

=
A small smile appears on my face as I reminisce about my past. I slowly close the box and set it back in the corner. I leave the green pastures and return to the grey and dull city life. In this world, it is hard to try and live a life that you want. At least in my point of view it is. Many teens these days have to live in strict conditions and high expectations of their parents. Time to get studying if I want to pass that test.=====
