Juxtaposition is an act or instance of placing close together for comparison or contrast. By juxtaposing two objects next to each other, it results a transference of meaning.
I would describe myself as a toy windmill. The colourfulness of the toy windmill gives a sense of happiness. It spins as wind blows through the windmill, reminds me of a phrase called “following the wind”. To me, it implies one who lives life by following his feeling, but not being forced to suit or fit himself to the circumstances. I think the toy windmill represents me well as I love to follow my heart in my life. I will merely take things as they come. I believe I will be happier when I allow myself to simply be me.
