The Bluest of Blue

They say you are blue when you are depressed; what sort of blue is a depressed blue? I’ve played so many bluesy Blues yet, they only make me happy; I call them bright blues. Blues of rainbow hues swirling, curling, twirling in my head; it’s my favorite color so, how can I be depressed when I am blue? Instead I find that my blue is fantasy neon with shades of creature blue hues. Blue unicorns fed my imagination as a child; a pre-teen carnival of blues ran the gamut of tear-to-elation, sapphire dreams. Often I would build my bluest schemes of turquoise and ultramarine. I found that as an adult, I can’t go wrong with royal blue velvet; such smoothly soft, ooze blue. In my downtime, I like to vacation in the blue tranquility, of an aqua blue sea and that’s where I find my perfect, harmonic blue bliss. No, I do not believe that depression is...blue, it is undoubtedly, gray.

I am always amazed when someone believes that one color means the same for all people. Of course it could not, for it you were hurt in a yellow room, yellow would never make you think of happiness. I enjoyed this much.
