Reena’s Exploration Challenge Rules
It is time for yet another dive into realms of the conscious, sub-conscious and unconscious mind.
PROMPT #147

Let the prompt take you anywhere – nature, art, fashion, interiors, emotions, perspectives, different aspects of anything, whatever colour means to you or the metaphors which emanate from colour. Interesting photographs, or works of art are also welcome.
I eagerly await your brilliant black and white entries
As usual, there is no restriction on length or format of the piece. Write a post on your blog, and copy-paste the link in Comments. In case you are using a pingback, do check back to see if it has worked.
Last, but not least, don’t forget to tag the post “Reena’s Exploration Challenge” for easy location in the blog roll.
*****
A colorless world. To someone with Bipolar Disorder life itself, at its very essence can seem dull and colorless. Only recently have I felt as if the color has re-entered my world. I am doing something I want to do just for me. I am creating youtube videos, editing them and doing live streaming on my channel about writing. I am involved in a story that has taken hold of my imagination and is taking me out of that colorless world I resided in. I feel alive and it is such a unique experience for someone like me. Mental illness robs your life of color, but it is possible to get it back at some points. I can’t say what tomorrow will bring, but today my world is no longer black and white, or even gray. There is color at the edges and moving inwards to fill that void in my head.

Color becomes a metaphor for meaning in life. You are right that we feel lost when we cannot find meaning in life.

This one spoke to me and right now there is color, long lost color, in my life. What a difference it makes.
