The Big Bang

For True Colors Challenge

Darkness.

The earliest memory you can have

Can be as earliest as you were in the womb.

Yellow- Illness and Optimism.

I was born with neonatal jaundice

temporary yellowing of the skin of a newborn

The nurse told my mom

To not worry

For though, I just needed to get used to

the warm light

And so I did

For the last 21 years

and what will now be known as metathesiophobia.

Metathesiophobia is the fear of change.

Beginning of middle school, high school, and college

it all hit me the same.

Now I hung on

to a hopeful view

like a child

ready to play in the summer

out in the garden full of honey-sunflowers

and have a drink of fresh lemonade

in the golden sun.

RED.

Longest wavelength

Property of appearing to be nearer than it is

Thus catches our attention first

and hence is strong and effective in its physical.

Flesh

Blood

Heart

Love

Loss

Suffer

Strength

Emotions

Is what makes me human.

Blue.

Associated often with the mind.

Strong blues will stimulate clear thought

Sometimes even providing us answers

Like the surface of the ocean water,

Reflecting my face

Reminding me again

of whom I am,

and the dark blue of its depths

reminding me

that deep inside of me

I choose who I want to become.

Soft blues

bring me peace and serenity.

Like the blues skies

when there are no storms,

even that of suspicious clouds.

Violet- Higher Level of Thought, Spiritual Awareness, Deep Contemplation.

Last visible wavelength

Associates with……… time s p a c e and cosmos.

I’m an individual

with a whole different world inside of me

on a journey, choosing what universe

I want to be.

Born out of darkness

allows us

to pick up our brush

and start painting

our worlds

our universe.

May not be able to control everything

But can always choose

how to perceive and react to it,

just as an artist

admiring their painting on the wall

with different interpretations, different hues

setting their values- how dark or light you want it.

A grey world is out of monotony

and a colored world

is from freedom and diversity.
