| Letting Go of an Old Image
|

When I started writing a few days ago I had to decide how I wanted to go about it. What image did I want to project of myself? My first thought was because I feel depressed, I should be dark and mysterious. When I felt depressed as a teenager, my logical design choices for my free geocities website were black and dark burgandy, with dark gothic images and the most fluent prose I could muster. At thoughts.com I repeated this pattern, and after my first two posts I thought better of it. Why? I realized that darkness makes my pain worse. Lamentations of sorrow only drive me deeper into despair. Being dark and goth may serve teen angst well, but it does not encourage recovery, and that is my goal. I have now decided on shades of blue and silver: cool, sophisticated and soothing. Colours I have always loved and that make me feel good. Maybe it's time for me to let go of my notions of depression equalling darkness. I'll enjoy my blue background and leave black for the teenagers; it no longer seems to be serving any purpose for me.

It has to be more then the color itself to make you feel so depressed. I see what you mean about how colors can define certain types of moods. When I go out I prefer to where a black shirt because black to me means I want to be taken seriously and plus I look good in black. My current image suits me and I'm not going to change it any time soon unless I go some fancy party.
