"La Vie En Rose"

This line strikes magic in me, every single time I hear it.
Translation?
" Life through rose-colored glasses."




There's a certain special feeling when you trust in things even if you know they're going to completely and utterly destroy you in the end because you absolutely do not see the outcomes in what-will-be, oh no! You always look for the outcomes in simple what-could-be instead, defying logic and history.
But I must tell you, life through rose colored glasses is beautiful, even death wears pink-colored robes!
But the worst part? Red flags look like any other flags.

Then,
you
sink. 

Yet, the water is pink. 
You
can't
breathe.

Yet, everything is mystical, colored in the loveliest shades of rose.


(-Drowning in an ocean of pink.)

Excerpt From the Diary of an Optimist (Prologue)

I am a very happy person- always looking at the bright side of things. I am a person who is always optimistic, giving more of herself than she can ever hope to gain.
But nonetheless, I carry on. I love being this way because it made me who I am and it will make me who I am meant to be. So, I do not fret. Stumbling, I will find my way. But then again, there are times when I can't be happy, when I stop everything that I'm thinking and allow myself to breathe in the moment, look around and be selfish. Times like these, I will only think about me, what I have done and what I can do; every little detail.
Because sometimes, it's completely okay to feel sad, it's okay to break down and feel the pain. I trace the scars on me, all the writings on my body and let things be; neither moving forward nor letting them go back.
And a day will come, soon, I am sure of it, when I will look back on everything that I have done and not feel lost. I know freedom is a very abstract term that is relative to every single being but on that day, I will truly be free. From that day onward, I wouldn't even have to hide the marks on my arms nor paint colors to alter my skin. I will be able to love each and every fragment of my universe and be proud of who I am.

I will, finally, be who I was always meant to be.
