It is the color that symbolizes sadness and depression. I’m feeling “blue” is the expression that is used. I’ve had long periods of blueness that cannot be shaken. This blue is the color I want to escape and run from.
Indigo is the color of unknown of being between. It is the color that doesn’t have a real spot, a place of belonging.
How I’ve felt like that color as I’m adjusting to a new place, trying to discover where I fit!

A rainbow of promise and hope.
