Why’s everyone wearin’ purple today, in this year 2024, you ask? Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t just ’cause it looks nice. Though, I gotta say, it’s a right pretty color, ain’t it? Reminds me of them grapes we used to grow back home, sweet and plump. But, no, no, there’s more to it than just lookin’ good.
First off, some folks say it’s somethin’ called Epilepsy Awareness Day. Now, I ain’t no doctor, but I hear tell it’s a thing with your brain, makes you shake and such. Wearin’ purple, they say, shows you care about them folks what got it. Makes ’em feel less alone, I reckon. Kinda like bringin’ a casserole to a neighbor who’s feelin’ poorly.
Then there’s this other thing, Wear it Purple Day, for them… what’s the word… LGBTIQA+ younguns. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? Basically, it’s for kids who ain’t like everyone else, if you catch my drift. Purple’s their color, shows they’re proud of who they are. And good for ’em, I say! Everyone deserves to be happy, long as they ain’t hurtin’ nobody.
- Epilepsy Awareness Day: Showin’ support for folks with epilepsy.
- Wear it Purple Day: Celebratin’ diversity and younguns in the LGBTIQA+ community.
Now, some other times, folks wear purple for domestic violence awareness. That’s a sad thing, that is. No one should be hurtin’ their own kin. Wearin’ purple shows you stand with them what’s been hurt, tells ’em there’s help out there. It’s like puttin’ a light in the window, showin’ ’em the way home.
And then, there’s just October 10th. Every year, boom, purple everywhere! Why? Well, beats me! Maybe it’s all them other things rolled into one. Maybe it’s just a day to wear purple for no reason at all, just ’cause you feel like it. And ain’t nothin’ wrong with that, is there?
Then, someone told me ’bout November 15th. Said folks wear purple then too, light up buildin’s and such. For what? Didn’t quite catch that. Some kinda cause, they said. Well, whatever it is, I reckon it’s important if they’re makin’ such a fuss.
So, why’s everyone wearin’ purple today? Could be any of them reasons, or somethin’ else entirely. Truth is, it don’t really matter why. What matters is that folks are comin’ together, showin’ they care about somethin’. And that, well, that’s a good thing, ain’t it?
So, next time you see a bunch of folks wearin’ purple, don’t just scratch your head and wonder. Ask! Maybe you’ll learn somethin’ new, maybe you’ll find a cause you wanna support. And heck, maybe you’ll even find yourself wearin’ purple too!
In the end, wearin’ purple is just a way of showin’ you belong, showin’ you care. It’s like wearin’ your heart on your sleeve, but with a bit more color. And in this world, Lord knows we need more color, don’t we?
