Theme: Kaleidoscope

Beauty in unevenness, Brightness in boldness.
Our lives are shaped by dreams, opportunities and failures that make us shine and sometimes leave us broken. Bits and pieces individually would have never looked better but together, they create the most beautiful patterns and maybe that is why it seems even more alluring.
A change in perspective is all it takes for one to appreciate the little things, the forgotten memories and the unconventional stories. Like a kaleidoscope, we embrace change, and we grow up, only to rebuild our dreams and aspirations to form a brighter picture of life.
