Yellow Chemistry
It’s pretty obvious to most people, whether they’ve known me for years
or stumbled across my music last week, that I love the color yellow.
It’s mandatory that my websites be sprinkled with it, and I try to
wear it as often as I can. Wearing yellow in the dead of winter is a
contradiction: Fashion experts don’t usually approve, but perhaps
yellow is even more needed in cold and dreary months. My love for the
color isn’t just some marketing ploy, but truly a major part of my
cheerfulness and contentment, and in a way, it defines me.
Everybody has a power color whether they realize it or not, and the glowing, energetic inspiration of golden sunshine is mine. I think someone’s favorite color says a lot about them. I’ve always been fascinated with the person behind the person, underneath the layers of clothing and carefully planned exteriors. What we surround ourselves with undoubtedly becomes a part of us, so I purposely fill my life with images of sunsets, rolling fields of sunflowers and rays of light. I feel an incessant need to customize my life as much as possible, to put my stamp on everything, to leave a positive mark. I have to spread the sunshine.
There are things that are hardwired in all of us, things that we gravitate toward. I’ve always been a dreamer, I’ve always been easily distracted, softhearted, enthusiastic, and unfortunately, I’ve always had a tendency to say some things without thinking. I can be as composed as possible and then as excited as a five-year-old. I’m a living, breathing contradiction. I think we all are in some way.
So I love yellow, the color of happiness and sunshine, cowardice and hesitation. It’s a color that inspires and warns, shocks us, and makes us think of summer and lemons. It means so many things, and I love it. It turns on my brain. It’s my own personal coffee jolt in the morning, and gives me energy when I need it in the late evenings. I don't need to feel the sunshine to feel the warmth in the color. If you looked at my DNA, you'd probably see strands of light in there. What's in your DNA that defines you?
