In a yellow state of mind,
We barely found each other on a random Thursday, sipping tea and talking about stuff, but one thing that stuck with me was your love of the yellow colour. So many people have different colour theories and love all kinds of colour, as I do, being me. I wanted to seem awesome throughout my life, so I told him my favourite colour is turquoise blue, fancy, huh? And I asked him, he said, “Yellow” in a calm voice. Our eyes clocked in calmness, my heart rested, my right leg, which was shaking, found its feet on the ground, and I didn’t say anything, just a petite smile. He looked the other way and continued sipping the tea. In my mind, I had other visions of how simple this guy is. My tone of voice changed at that moment. We continued talking about other things, but I was inexperienced in saying other things. I walked to my home, and the only thing that was running in my mind was, “Yellow! Yellow! His favourite colour is yellow! Damm, it’s yellow!”
I am clearly not a yellow colour-loving person, as I am this niche turquoise colour person. What I was thinking in my mind was how can love a simple colour like yellow? Because I see people these days loving colours like mauve, dewberry, heliotrope, hazel wood, obsidian, merlot, hickory, mocha, etc., but not yellow.
I wondered what it feels like to love a simple colour like yellow? When he mentioned the yellow colour, that’s when I started noticing little things about his personality, texting thank you with a yellow heart, wishing a birthday wish ending it with a yellow heart, how simply he would dress, how kind he is, how helpful he is, how much empathy he has for people, never being harsh on anyone, wearing his formals, dancing his way out, focusing on his career. I can’t compliment him, saying he’s a fine shyt, but he’s yellow bright sunshine in human form.
Life is never yellow, and it will never be; it goes through light, dark, mediocre phases, but the one who can see the bright yellow colour even in the darkness is a form of sunshine human form.
The way in the evening, the sun extends its rays into the water, and it splashes the golden colour in the reflection, fuck it, that’s so euphoric.
I guess now I dream of being in a yellow state of mind. The streets where I walk scream in yellow dashboards saying, “Follow your heart.” Going to a café ordering pineapple-based tropical mocktails, living in a butter-yellow linen shirt, sunset where the yellow curtains sprinkle the yellow reflection.
Going to the beach where the splashes of water are golden.
Maybe now I know what it feels like to be like sunshine in this.
Once, I had my life all pink, but now I seek sunshine. My chat wallpaper is yellow. Yes, I like yellow, but I like butter yellow more, because I can’t be as simple as him, but I can sense having a yellow sense of humour💛
Thank you for reading :)
This was a cute reflection! I like yellow too, it reminds me of sunshine and positivity! I love that he's such a good natured person, yellow suits him.
