What's up with this pink shirt?

Posted by orchid on May 24, 2006, at 16:21:08

So, yesterday was my husband's birthday, and I had bought him a pink shirt (not the pink ladies wear, but the one men feel comfortable in).

And then when he wore it yesterday, I found my heart getting very warm - though it was nothing very unusual looking for him. But it was a little long, so went to a store to buy a new shirt. And then my husband tried on several shirts and one of them a pink, and then as soon as I saw him coming out of the fitting room with this pink shirt on, again, my heart just stopped and kind of almost melted. And he wore it full yesterday and I felt very safe and comfortable with him and even wore a pink sari to match his dress and went out.

And today I have been looking at that shirt for many times from this morning, and every time I look at it, something happens in my heart... I feel so cozy and nice and protected just by the color of the shirt. And I have never felt this way before by anything like this.

And I can't really think of anyone who had worn this pink before or anything specific with this, but the kind of connection that my emotion makes with this colour is unbelievable....

Any thoughts? It is amazing how our mind works - what it associates with what..

I tend to like the color lavender but my T rarely wears it and no one in my family ever wears it. But it brings me comfort like no other color. I know exactly why too. It has to do with the work I've done with my therapist. She helped me learn something very important and that was that I could count on her no matter what. I've never been able to count on ANYONE in my life. She sent me a note in the mail every single week for about 1 1/2 years. The color of the envelope was lavender and it came to mean a lot and still does. All shades of purple, I love.
You must like the color of pink. That's a great color, sweetness and love is what I think of when I think of pink.
