Back to Pink <3 : A Poem of Healing By Jasmine Howard-Vickers

Verse of the Day:

Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

As a little girl, nothing seemed right 

If it wasn't my favorite color.

I chose it because I was told it was exclusive for girls and I liked having things that could only be mine. 

Pink wasn't a color for me, it was a brand you

Pink and Yellow are Besties <3

Were born with, something no one could take away or say you didn't deserve.

Although.... it felt unfair.... there were so many pretty colors to enjoy.....why did I have to only choose one? 

Blue was next, but only because I was told I couldn't at first. "What sort of girl likes blue over pink?" They'd ask me...but it was as pretty as my pink just in a different hue and I ventured it's spectrum until 

I found....yellow 💛 

This color fit like a glove, just the way pink once had, but it was a glove I had to grow into, in order to fit. It was bright, beautiful, strong and showcased everything about me in a brilliant sunlit way....

Then I realized

How beautiful some colors look together

How growth didn't have to be a lonely adventure 

And that I was free to choose healing AND change

That was the day...

That pink came back and was embraced once more

with a new friend in tow 💛🩷
