I am ROYGBIV.

Red

Red holds memory of my mother, she always wore that shade of lipstick because it was her favorite color. Red is happy. Red is warm. Red is the first color I see after the storm.

Orange

Orange holds memory of my daughter. Her favorite citrus snack, something she learned from her father. Orange is happy. Orange is warm. Orange is the second color I see after the storm.

Yellow

Yellow holds memories dearest of them all, because it was the color of my first love's walls. Yellow is happy. Yellow is warm. Yellow is the third color I see after the storm.

Green

Green is my favorite color because it holds memory of the forest in the summer. Green is happy. Green is warm. Green is the fourth color I see after the storm.

Blue

Blue holds memory of the ocean, the colors of its waves and their harmonic motion. Blue is happy. Blue is warm. Blue is the fifth color I see after the storm.

Indigo

Indigo holds memory of my countryside home when I was a child, where the indigo flowers grew wild. Indigo is happy. Indigo is warm. Indigo is the sixth color I see after the storm.

Violet

Violet holds the memory of my very first car. A worn out doge neon that never got me far. Violet is happy. Violet is warm. Violet is the last color I see after the storm.

I am a mosaic of colored memories. I am ROYGBIV.
