When I was 14 years old, I went to a thrift shop with my best friend. It wouldve been late September, early October. We were talking about our futures, when he mentioned that he didnt know my favorite color. I told him to guess. He pondered for a bit and then picked up a pair of pretty yellow converse and shouts out "Yellow!" He looked so happy, I just nodded and said yes. I would wear those converse every single day for the next 6 months, they would see as I fell head over heels in love with him. I stopped wearing them in 2025 after my first attempt of the year. Yellow is my favorite color. i saw bits of it in everything after that. saw it everywhere. eventually that friend and i would grow apart. meet new people stop talking entirely i will be told that i was an awful person yet... yellow remains my favorite color. those shoes still sit in my closet. a testament to my unspoken love. i will wear them periodically for the next 5 years until they burn in a fire i caused. until then yellow will always be my favorite color.
