Yellow!

Jello and I went to Hollywood Nail and Spa for an interview today and I ended up getting my nails done... in yellow! This is the first time I colored my nails yellow, I have always been a tan, ecru or beige kinda girl, always on the safe and boring colors. Which got me thinking, why yellow?

Yellow they say connotes cowardice and deceit... was I unconsciously remembering the delusion of it all? Yellow also denotes envy or jealousy, am I jealous of the life you have? In Egypt, Yellow signifies the mourning of the dead... am I mourning the death of first love? of the innocence that it first felt? or could it also be remembrance of lost time... of lost love?

On the brighter side, Yellow also stands for courage, courage to face the rest of my life knowing that it can only get better... but most of all, yellow also stands for something bright and cheery... for optimism and enlightenment... a future which I could only hope for which in the end might lead us back to true happiness. For me then, yellow stands for hope... that someday soon I'll be able to take the next step and color my nails RED!
