The Girl Who Dreamed in Color
The secret origin of Inside Out
In 1949, a young psychology student named Margaret Hill volunteered for an experiment on emotional visualization. She claimed she could “see” feelings — literally — as colors and shapes that surrounded people.
During therapy, she described her own mind as “a control room of little lights arguing with each other.” Doctors recorded her sessions but dismissed her visions as delusion.
Decades later, her journals were rediscovered by a Pixar story consultant researching human emotion. Strangely, Hill had written dialogue identical to lines from Inside Out — 60 years earlier.
Her final note read:
“When I close my eyes, Joy keeps the others quiet. But Sadness never leaves.”
No one knows what became of her. Some say the film wasn’t just inspired by her — it was finished by her.

Why is everyone's lifestyle different when it comes to living life
When we look at the lifestyles that people lead do we ever wonder why they are not all the same? Is the fact that lifestyles for people are all different because people are all different and that is what makes it unique? That is what I would say, because if we all had the same lifestyle the world would be a very boring place. So do different things then your neighbour when you do this you will feel so much better and so much more will come into your life that I am sure of. Lifestyles are what makes life worth living because we live our lives in the way that works for us, some of us work constantly, some of us know how to relax and take a break by doing the things we enjoy and we call those things hobbies. Everyone does different things in there lives because that is what makes us the people we are. Lifestyles are different because then life is different. When we live our lives, we do so because of what we want out of them don’t we? That is the way that I look at it, what about you? Everyone’s life is different because, if it was all the same then it wouldn’t be any fun, LIfe is meant to be fun and full of hobbies or else it isn’t anything at all, that is the way I look at it.
