The purpose of making all my strings a different shade of pink is for a calming effect for myself. Along with that is a bevy of symmetry along multiple axes; however some of these lines of code produces visually asymmetrical results. Combining those together, with an emotionally stressful week, this is a reminder for me that it id okay to be imperfect and to take my day to day life less seriously. Live my life.
