Feeling Blue

Ever since I can remember, I've been drawn to the color blue.
I don't understand why other people don't prefer it over all the other colors like I do.
As far as I'm concerned, the whole world should be blue - everything in it.
All these other colors are just too confusing. It makes life really difficult to look around and have to see red and yellow and green, and not be comfortable anywhere I go.
Even my own family doesn't understand. As a kid, the whole house was full of all sorts of random colors, so I had to stay in my room with its blue walls, under my blue bedspread.
I hated them for making me feel like such an outcast.
I hated going to school and being forced to buy the 64 color crayola crayon set, and being teased by the other kids wearing their stupid multi-colored shirts and plaid bell-bottom trousers.
I had to quit college because the bookstore refused to carry blue paper.
I can't work - every job I try insists that I use black ink or wear khakis *shudder*
Why can't everyone else just be sensitive to my feelings and keep all their stupid colors to themselves so that I can live a normal life?

Sorry to hear you're feeling down ::(: . If you think about it blue can be a happy color too. The sky is blue & beautiful. And blue means bold and confident! I know how some colors are represented as an emotion but I disagree on some of them. Blue is the ocean, nothing is more beautiful than the ocean.

My room is all blue and I like it. Walls, floor (more or less), curtains, sheets and bedcover, the painting I have (The Starry Night, original by Van Gogh, painted by my grandfather), and I'm wearing blue clothes and a blue dressing gown (not sure if it's the right word :p).

Up until now everything around here has been, well, pleasant. Recently certain things have become unpleasant. Now, it seems to me that the first thing we have to do is to separate out the things that are pleasant from the things that are unpleasant.

Yeah, I used to live in San Francisco, and I'd drive across Golden Gate and through the tunnel just because it's all so iconic.

Where in Cali are you?

How cool! I live in the Peninsula area. Why did you go back to NZ?

As his small boat scudded before a brisk breeze under a sapphire sky dappled with cerulean clouds with indigo bases, through cobalt seas that deepened to navy nearer the boat and faded to azure at the horizon, Ian was at a loss as to why he felt blue.

Sorry to be insensitive, coyote, but it sounds like you need medication and a therapist, asap. If only there were a magic pill that could make you see everything in blue. All those "normal" people who flaunt their full spectrum are not worthy to know you. I hope you feel bluer soon.

I know exactly what you mean. Multi colors makes everything look messy and disorganized. Like if you threw a pile of clothes on the floor that were all different in color. I couldn't look at that for a second. Blue is a very comfortable color that's easy on the eyes. I love the color blue which is why I love being around the ocean when the skies are blue.
If I wear any colors it has to be dark colors, blue, black, maybe grey... I never wear anything that's too hard on the eyes.

Dis al

Dis die blond,
dis die blou:
dis die veld,
dis die lug;
en 'n voël draai bowe in eensame vlug -
dis al

Dis n balling gekom
oor die oseaan,
dis n graf in die gras,
dis n vallende traan -
dis al
