It's Not the Same To Everyone

"The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts." ~Marcus Aurelius

It's Not the Same To Everyone
Google

Isn't it odd how people try to fit a certain colour with one particular emotion? They try to tell you this means that, or that means this. They narrow everything down to one meaning and expect it to be the same for everyone, but what they don't seem to understand that what it means to you might be the opposite for someone else.

Like how for some the colour of the sky means freedom to spread your wings and fly away, but for him it's the colour of guilt at his uncle's wrecked convertible with their liquor soaking through the floorboards. They tell you that the colour yellow means happiness, but for some its the colour of grief and the hospital room where their mother lost her fight with cancer. And red is supposed to mean anger but for some it is colour of happiness and her mother's lipstick as she smiles at her son who's returned home from the army. Some say green is envy, but to some it is the colour of the grass and the feeling of contentment the day her boyfriend finally proposed to her. Black is meant to be fear, but to him it is the colour of peace that he finds in the night sky. Pink is supposed to be the colour of love but for some it is the colour of heaven on earth as they hold their blanket wrapped baby girl for the first time.

Everyone sees the world through different eyes, and so colours mean something different to every person. We are each so unique, so different, and one meaning could never cover all world.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
