Bewitched with blue
Willingly feeling blue, living blue, loving blue. Literally.
"Blue is the color of longing for the distances you never arrive in."
— Rebecca Solnit.
For me, blue isn’t just a color. It is a way of living.
Blue can never be bland. It can never be boring. It can be both charming and intimate or depressing and melancholy.
It can support you in highs and your lows.
For me, blue is the most expressing color of all.
When I say I like the color blue, I don’t just mean a certain shade. I like the faintest blue in the clearest seas to the deepest blue in the depth of seas harboring secrets.
For me, blue is both beholder of freedom and the epitome of vast chains.
Blue makes many people sadden, it makes them feel down, that is what most say.
But it isn’t just what blue is, is it?
Blue is naive, blue is depth, blue is security, blue is longing and blue is sacred.
To see the true beauty of blue, maybe you just need to stop feeling…blue.
It is also the answer to the question which it itself is.
Blue doesn’t just feel like the corner of a dark room to me.
Blue feels like the free breeze of wind holding me, hugging me, and making me lean more towards my need.
Blue feels like a wave to earth sent just to wash away my sins.
Blue feels like the memories flooding in to guide me out my despair.
Blue reminds of the warm nights where everyone is just quiet, but this quietness isn’t uncomfortable, it’s serenity.
Don’t approach the color with malice…or with hurt, gaze at it with innocence and only then you will be blessed with the beauty of it.
For me, blue feels like the melodious jazz. I am sure it sounds like an unsent love letter with more love than a single sheet could handle.
It feels like a poem written by a poet who has seen the best and worst of the world.
It feels like it will someday embrace me whole and take me to the land of holy.
It can be scary yes, but it can also be more than that.
For me, it is something that has my heart in a hold.
No matter where I go, what I see, What I feel, I will always return back to blue.
As I said, I am utterly bewitched by blue.
