We treat them like they’re enemies who we force together once a year for the holidays but actually they long for each other constantly. The thrill they feel when they lock eyes across the color wheel both dreaming of a life together. How they’d promise to love each other from their shades to their hues and hell sometimes they might quarrel but every marriage has its road bumps and they can always rely on a diplomatic pink or a delicate yellow to mediate. But no it cannot be because we live under the dictatorship of yuletide cheer.
A truly gorgeous color combo for those with trained sensibilities (made Amelie their personality at 15) to see the possibility beyond kelly green and candy apple red.
I had a therapist tell me that I have a very keen understanding of color and I said Sally, my father is an alcoholic stop changing the subject. So, if you have your doubts, trust me on this. Further evidence provided below.

Christmas acts like it has this ownership over those colors, but wrong: Tomatoes! Strawberries! Roses! Olives! The list goes on. No more assuming I’m dressing for the holiday: I’m matching my fav vegetation.

It just makes sense to us.
I loved percy from thomas the tank engine, i love staring at trees until they wiggle in the wind, i love being surprised by green where ever it appears.
Mother nature freaked it with green

Actually rainbow. I lovceeee seeing all the colors together. It’s so satisfying.
The color I’m most drawn to at any given time changes. Most of my life it was blue. Then there was the year I painted my room red. I was very yellow for a time (in generally I think I’m a yellow person). Green is always right there waiting for me. Hot pink was it just a year or two ago. Currently I’ve been into shades of purple, which is a first for me.

Currently have three full pages in my notebook! I guess some might call this a gratitude journal LOL but it’s different when I do it.
My brother was telling me about this phenomenon called “target fixation”. It’s a panic reflex that happens when motorcyclists become fixated on a singular object, obstacle, hazard (e.g. a sharp curve on a winding road) and they will unconsciously steer in the direction of the thing they’re trying to avoid because their hands follow their gaze which leads to accidents.
You will follow your gaze so be aware of where you’re looking. Train yourself to seek out pleasure and appreciation! Understanding where + what you derive pleasure from increases your capacity to enjoy things which in turn makes you a more interesting person (imo). I think it’s just as important self-knowledge as understanding your triggers/trauma. It is a daily willingness to be transformed by small things.
Sorry for lecturing but I want good things for all of you.

Forgive because this where I get a little ~woo woo~ but I think you should only wear necklaces that are imbued with a potent magical vibe… amulets only near the heart and throat
you can do whatever you want with earrings/rings but heed my warning about necklaces
