"Life In Technicolor."

Isn't always colorful.
Sometimes it comes in black and white.
And sometimes with no sight at all.
But each day we live it.
And breath it,
The colors that shape our lives.
The experiences that make up our past, present, and future.
Sometimes it's all a blur.
Trying to figure out the bad times, and run with the good.
Trying to keep your head held high, and continue running.
And in the meantime, buy that outfit that feels so stunning.
With the colors that make up life.
It's not always going to be "rainbows and butterflies"
Sometimes it takes a little compromise.
Or so I should learn, and so You should learn, and You, and You, and you all too.
Perfection is a dream, not a reality.
You think it, you want it, you breath it.
You wake up in the morning wishing your dreams would come true,
And your nightmares would go away.
Each day you live, you learn, you grow.
Trying to figure out your flow.
You figure out who you want in your life and who you should let go.
You ponder why you get stuck in the ruts of life? why people do the things they do? why life gets in the way of your perfect rainbow.
WHY happiness turns to hurt?
And hopes turn into lessons.
And lessons turn into strength.
And strength turns into power.
And then...finally, you see the colors again.
Life once appears as vibrant as ever.
Black and white will always be a part of the picture.
Because without it, there wouldn't be any in-perfections.
But the color, the technicolor, is what makes us breath...
What makes us go on adventures and walk down the roads less taken.
What makes us eager to learn,
From the lessons that teach us a new color.
Rainbows always fade.
But from an ugly rain storm they were made.
Was there ever really a pot of gold?
Or was that just an early metaphor for life, before it unfolds.
One day, before we know it,
Our entire life,
Will have passed by.
So live it, love it, laugh at it.
Sometimes its hard,
But you have to play that card.
And take your chances
It's worth it.
It's life.
As a Techincolor.
