Yellow. Yellow fields of questions. To an eight year old… it’s questions like “Where do babies come from?” and “How was the earth made?”. Questions seem to get harder as you grow. Questions to people like me. A fifteen year old who isn’t sure of anything. How do you know if you’re sure of something? What about things that need to be kept a secret? How do you know what to do? That’s the thing, we usually don’t. It feels horrible to be in that position. To feel yellow. What a way to feel. Kind of like when you feel that you have nowhere to turn. You know there is always somewhere you can turn. But at that time, you just feel like there isn’t. You may feel nervous, or even scared. The truth is that you don’t have to be. So what… you’re different. I’m different too. Everyone is different in their own way. But It’s who I am. It’s who I choose to be. It’s how I choose to be. You may call me weird or a freak. Am I a freak for hiding secrets? Everyone hides something in their life at one time or another. The yellow feeling comes back when I think of releasing a secret. But it’s more than a secret. It’s a part of me. A part of who I am. And your secrets are a part of who you are. Part of a lifestyle, or a routine. A routine of wonders of how to keep the secret a secret. Until it is released. No, I’m not ready to shout secrets from the rooftop. Now it’s more like a faint whispering in my head. And yet again, here comes the yellow feeling.
