Will You Be My Periwinkle Crayon?

People are like colors, relative. Have you ever noticed that when you place a grey paint chip next to a red one, it has a pinkish hue? Yet, next to a blue chip it looks blue.

And have you ever noticed that you may like someone that your best friend despises or vice versa?

It's because, like color, people reflect the energy around them. Smiles are contagious and negativity catches like fire. Some colors are just not compatible.

But the best part about knowing that people are relative is understanding that not everyone is compatible with everyone else. We can let go of the notion and the need to want everyone to like us. Isn't that a huge relief? Knowing this makes it easier to be kind, in fact, to people you don't particularly like, or even the ones who annoy you when you realize it's no ones fault that you're incompatible.

And by the same token, people you are drawn to could be considered your complimentary color, right? How nice is that? Complimentary colors are opposite on the color wheel, they are of equal brightness and intensity. The people you are drawn to, are your equal, even though both of you are unique.

Analogous colors are next to each other on the color wheel and are generally color families, get it? Yellow, yellow-green, green, green-yellow. Colors with the same base color or gene. Related colors.

And finally, harmonious colors. I believe that these colors represent your tribe, or the family you choose for yourself. All over the color wheel, but generally they evoke an emotion. Soft nature colors are serene, primary colors (the colors of Legos) are fun and childlike. No matter the theme, these colors are the people you feel at home with. The people you make a conscious choice to spend your time on. Why or harmonious colors the most important? Because time, my friends, is the most precious thing you can share.

Have a beautiful, harmonious sleep and a vibrant tomorrow. 💜💙💚💛❤️
