Imaginary.

Today I woke up at 1am to finish a few things, in preparations for today’s Tie-Dye event in East Atlanta Village (EAV). Once I completed my to-do’s, I went back to sleep until 7am. Then the rest of the morning was dedicated to the vending opportunity in EAV, today.

To make a loooong story short, after setting up the tent, table, merch, blahhhh blahhh blahhhh…. myself, along with other vendors that also set-up, learn the event was cancelled. 😂 we were ready by 12 and out there for at least 2.5 hours thinking the event was still in happening. Hilarious !!

But I DID meet an inspiring little girl that makes her own clip-on’s. I purchased 2 pair for my niece and for my friends’ daughter. The excitement in me wanted to purchased like 5 pair but I lost my debit card and have limited cash. Lol.

Also, i managed to take an awesome clip of a teenie tiny 🦎. We had a moment and it was pretty 😎 cool. I love life and think it’s so interesting. It should be cherished and celebrated.

I also saw a mama squirrel 🐿 sprucing up her young’s nest! I actually sat and watched her run from the n’est across the walkway… crawl up the tree….FRANTICALLY grab leaves, ripping them from the trees….. run down the tree… back across the wall way…. and up into the scupture’s center that nests her babies. And you could hear little squalls 😊 absolutely sweet to witness. Super grateful for that moment!

but anyway, this is a really rad park in East Atlanta Village and they host artist markets every so often’s Saturday, from 12-6pm.

Maybe we will catch you at the next show?? Thé NON imaginary show. :) 😂

Fuck fuck fuck. Stream of conscious. Am I manic? Am I truly okay? So many ideas not enough time. I should meditate. Post office. Kyoko. Money. Kyra. I am beyond appreciative of my friends. She helps me without me asking for it. She is not judge mental. She is selfless. She is a reflection of me. Sweet Ashley. I want to be a better friend but I allow myself to be forgiven by me. We are adults and things come up. I can not be selfish, she has another human she is responsible for. No backspace, only forward motion. Forward warriors. I need to apply to an art related competition or funding. Spend time for the long run and trust the universe for the short run. I am doing it. It comes easier with time, like everything else. Let your mind flow and your fingers follow. Trust yourself. I should finish though I am feeling cock of from the coordination of my thoughts with my fingers with this keyboard. Every word and line is a “bar”. Slang. She will read this and learn a new word.

“Bars”

The Color Pink's Psychology


What Does the Color Pink Mean?

The Iowa Hawkeyes famously have a pink visiting team locker room at their Kinnick Stadium. The idea for the pink locker room was conceived by Iowa coach Hayden Fry, who had majored in psychology at Baylor University and believed that the all-pink room would mess with the minds of the opposing teams. 

It is important to remember, however, that color associations are heavily affected by individual experiences and cultural influences. People who link the color to pleasant memories are more likely to find it a pleasing and enjoyable color. Those who associate pink with negative experiences or people may develop unpleasant associations.

How does pink make you feel? Do you associate pink with certain qualities or situations? You can discover how other people react to the color pink in some of the following responses that our readers have shared over the years.

Pink Is Joyful

Some readers have described pink as a color that evokes feelings of joy and happiness. "Although green used to be my favorite color, pink has the strongest and deepest emotional influence to me," wrote one reader. "The color pink to me has a deeply joyful vibe to it. Like being "home." A familiar friendly place deep within everyone's heart where there are no worries, you are never lonely, you have everything in life that you ever wanted. You are loved and accepted by everyone."

Pink Is Creative

For other readers, pink gives off a creative and artistic vibe. "I do not wear pink but I am drawn to it for my study where I do not have to compromise with my husband," said another reader. "It is a happy color and it makes me feel creative. For the first time in my life, I am decorating with pink, hot pink."

Pink Is Feminine and Vibrant

Many readers have written to suggest that pink is both feminine as well as vibrant. "Feminine, attractive, vibrant... Love pink lipstick, clothing, or tops worn in contrast with black. Bright pink, or paler no matter what age makes me feel flirty, astute, and can accomplish what I need to that day. I associate it with 'sugar and spice and all things nice.' Flowers, romantic gestures, and kindness," wrote reader Jill Cleggett.

Pink Is Childish

Of course, some people have a slightly less positive view of the color pink. "Perhaps my opinion is 'kids TV bias,' but it really seems to represent every single little girl on the planet (according to television), which has a very profound effect on kids. That would also explain why every toy, doll or dress my little sister has is..guess what? PINK! It's almost like to little girls it's "if you don't love pink, you're not really a girl." You can notice this at schools Very easily. And, on the contrary, little boys hate pink," wrote one reader.

Pink Is Refreshing

"Pink makes me think of springtime flowers and all things fresh and new. It seems like a really inspiring color. If I could, I would paint my room all pink so that I could always feel that sense of inspiration and renewal." explained one reader named Gemma.

Pink Is Euphoric

One common response from readers has been that different shades of pink can evoke different moods. For example, one reader explained:

"Hot pink is vivacious and joyous. I think that hot pink embodies who I try to be as a person: full of life and character. I didn't really gravitate toward this color until my late teens; as I was initially a lover of red. However, red comes across as harsh and overly bold, while pink comes across as gentle and feminine. Don't get me wrong, I think that red can be very flattering, but it just doesn't suit me. Another reason I love pink is that ​it is versatile. More muted pinks represent youth and innocence while loud forms of pink elude sexiness and boldness. Every time I come across anything in my favorite pink shade, I can't help but stop and admire its inherent beauty. Pink is my euphoria."

A Word From Verywell

While people often respond to the color pink in similar ways, it is important to remember that the psychology behind any color can depend upon many different factors. Past experiences, cultural influences, personal taste, and other factors can all impact how a person feels about a particular color, including the color pink.
