Growing up with a favourite colour that others didn’t understand or accept can be surprisingly tough. For me, blue wasn't just a colour—it was a part of my identity. But instead of being embraced, it sometimes set me apart in ways I didn’t expect. I recall how the dating scene, in particular, felt like an emotional battlefield. The phrase 'I hate the dating scene because...' resonates because it’s not just about romantic struggles but about being vulnerable and misunderstood. Sharing personal details like your favourite colour felt risky, as if revealing too much of yourself might trigger rejection or pity. What struck me most was how something as simple as a favourite colour became bound up with deeper feelings and past experiences—or trauma. The question 'Do you wanna know my favourite colour?' became symbolic of offering a part of myself, hoping for connection but fearing judgment. If you’ve ever felt similarly out of place or misunderstood, remember that your preferences and passions are valid and deserving of respect. Embracing who you are, even if it feels like others don’t, builds resilience and self-love over time. It’s okay if your favourite colour isn’t everyone else’s favourite—it’s a part of what makes you uniquely you.
