My goodness! TzeLin! You've actually made me a bit tearful for poor Beige! I'm sitting here feeling so sorry for this sad little colour! Wow - what a fantastic story, and you did it in a way that was cute and sweet but also poignant and thought-provoking, as it reflects common issues that many people face every day.
Self-esteem, confidence, identity, self-worth, all kinds of self-doubt and questioning - and a more widespread one about how disconnected we are from each other, often related to devices keeping us more connected to the internet than to the people right in front of us.
An absolutely brilliant, beautiful piece (and so far, the only one for the contest!)
Thank you so much for this really sweet story, TzeLin. Witchy is sniffling and weepy at her little desk, busily playing with her craft materials to make a card to cheer up poor Beige! 💙💜
