So, I was thinking about colors and love the other day. It got triggered when I walked past this park, and all the dandelions were out. Just this huge splash of yellow everywhere. Made me think back.
My Yellow Flower Moment
There was this time, a good friend of mine was having a really rough patch. Like, seriously down in the dumps over some relationship drama. I wanted to do something, you know? Just a little gesture. Flowers seemed like a good idea.
I went to the florist, totally clueless. Stared at all the options. Red roses? Nah, too much like that kind of love, wasn’t the right vibe. Pink? Felt a bit… I don’t know, standard? White lilies? They looked nice but maybe a bit too serious, almost sad.
Then I spotted these super bright yellow sunflowers. Huge things, just beaming. They instantly made me feel better just looking at them. It wasn’t complicated. It just felt like pure sunshine and happiness. Like a big, warm hug in flower form.
That felt right. So I grabbed a bunch.
What Happened Next
Took them over to my friend’s place. Her face when she saw them… it wasn’t like some miracle cure, obviously. But she genuinely smiled, a real smile. She put them in a vase right where she could see them all the time. Later she told me how just catching sight of that yellow burst really did lift her spirits during those few crappy days. Said it reminded her that things could be bright again.
For me, that kind of sealed it.
- Red is passion, sure.
- Pink is sweet, okay.
- But yellow? In my book, based on that whole experience, yellow’s the colour of bright, supportive, cheerful affection. It’s the “I’m here for you, let’s get through this” kind of love. It’s friendship, it’s optimism, it’s that sunny feeling you want to share.
Some folks say yellow means jealousy or caution in love. Maybe sometimes? I dunno. But my real-life run-in with yellow? It was all about warmth, happiness, and solid friendship. That’s what I saw, that’s what I felt. Just pure, simple, sunny support.
