Journal Entry #1: Color Memory

Color can both unite and divide; Whether we consciously acknowledge it or take it for granted, it shapes our lives and relationships with others and the world around us.

The earliest memory I have of color having a profound impact took place in my day care class when I was two or three years old. There, like or dislike of particular colors built, toppled, and maintained friendships. I managed to build an entourage of friends for a time based solely upon our mutual enjoyment of "blue." As the years passed, we learned that there was more to life than blue, so we went our separate ways. Though these events speak for a certain naivete, they help to demonstrate what sort of hold color in its many forms has on us.
