Colors

Today I looked at the sky and the sight of its beauty took my breath away. Has the sky always flowed with such vibrant hues? Why is this my first time seeing this? It was then that I realized I had been oblivious to the world around me. My mind was so engulfed in the past that I failed to see the world leave me behind. I was blind to the fact that life itself was drained of its joy & color. That morning instead of just going through the motions I tried living in the moment. After the perpetual fog lifted I saw the dandelions outside were gleaming golden yellow, and the warmth radiating from them breathed life into my soul and gave me hope for the first time.

I wrote this recently when I noticed that the world around me had color everywhere that I didn’t notice before. This was my way of explaining in words how it feels to finally get into a good place in my life. I wanted to to feel like the color yellow?? Like just make you feel warm, almost like the sun is on your face.
