Some define it as the pursuit of wellbeing; others imply that it is simply a manner through which one can quantify one’s priorities in life.

Why should color define love? As a young girl I was raised colorblind. Being a young child came with innocence and purity. It was like a shield from all the hateful labels and hatred acts that the world considered normal. I grew up with friends of all ethnicities. Who shared different backgrounds and beliefs.
