Yellow Shirt

Found this on my journal dated September 22, 2018

I wore yellow today to cover up the gloomy feeling. The color brought back so many memories.

Growing up, yellow was my favorite color. It was the very first color that gave me joy. It was literal sunshine to me. I asked my mother how my preference changed from yellow to blue. She said she had no idea, but I’ve always been choosing blue if it’s not yellow.

Yellow is summer to me. I guess that’s why it has changed. I loved summer as a kid. It meant watching anime all day and night with my brother. It means going to my grandma’s house enjoying the field; the hammock under the mango tree; picking up the guavas that fell on the ground, asking if it was edible.

I hate summer now.

Perhaps, that’s what changed. It is not the color, but the season. It feels nice to have a little bit of yellow again, though. I just don’t feel too bright anymore.

I am blue. Calm. Resigned.

Sometimes, it is more than just a color 🙂 So, what’s your favorite and what do you associate with that color?

If my words touch your heart somehow, I hope you consider donating. It will help me keep this blog running. I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH
