Black and White

28 Aug

When I fell in love, I wrote that it felt like I was suddenly seeing the world in colour. Like I had been ignorant all my life of the brilliant yellow sun and the dazzling blue sky. This is it, I thought. This is what I’ve been missing all my life.

I thought I’d never be able to live in black-and-white again. But unknowingly, the colour in my world began to fade, and before I knew it, I was once again living in a black-and-white world.

I want colour again. I want to love again.

    oh, that’s so true how life is so much more colorful when you’re in love. But then however we find out that we still can survive in the black and white world.

    don’t worry, love will eventually find its way back into you (or vice versa, lol) and your world will be colorful again :D

    Every now and then, we must get a glimpse of the world in black and white, so that when the world turns colorful once again, we appreciate it even more and not take it for granted. I can understand your situation, its been like that for me for pretty much the last year. just hang in there. For the wheel of life to turn again…

      I forgot to say…. my world has always been in colours and shades… Maybe I’m a painter at heart :D

        I wish I could see the world in colour even when I’m not in love. But that’s love’s magic, and I really can’t help it.

        Lucky you, you painter you.

      you could use a kaleidoscope also, more economical.

        But the mess and the chaos could never be replaced… and that’s what makes it fun and unpredictable.

          true in a way..life in black and white is more interesting than even the most colorful kaleidoscope…we take life a little too seriously…

    Sometimes seeing in black and white can help you learn to love the colour more. I am in love with that photograph. It’s so symbolic and yet beautiful.

    I thought I was in love tons of times before, but I realized after those relationships ended that I wasn’t, at all. But the moment I knew I was in love with Royce, everything was as you said: the freeway lights were a lot brighter, headlights were like stars, etc. (We were driving on the freeway, I’m not weird or anything XD )

    You will love again, and be loved again. Just believe :)
