Kristen, prompted

June 5, 2020

If you were a color, what would it be?

This is a funny question because I really do not tend to think of people (myself or others!) as colors.

I discussed it with Sonia, though, and as I thought about it more, I was able to think of some colors that relate to people.

For instance, Zoe seems like the color red to me because she is a little bit fiery.

Lisey seems like the color blue to me because overall, she’s pretty peaceful and mild; a go with the flow sort of person.

It’s a little harder to come up with a color for myself; I could go multiple ways with this.

I could be yellow because I am fairly perky and cheerful.

I could be blue, like Lisey, because I am generally mild and peaceful.

I could be beige because I am not a person who stands out…I’m kinda vanilla in a lot of ways.

But there are some colors that really do not feel like me. For example, I really do not see myself as orange. I don’t even know what it would mean to be the color orange; I just know it doesn’t feel like me!

What color would you be?

    Probably green because of nature. That’s my habitat.

    I think we’d all be swirly tie-dyed colors, with some predominant but probably bits of all of them, even orange! I think I’d be mostly a lot of shades of green, with quite a bit of pinks, reds, and purples- a little bit of blue, yellow, brown, beige, black and white. And a dot of orange!

    This is a hard question. My favorite color is green, so if I were picking my color, then green all the way. But if I were to guess what other people see me as, it probably would be gray with some kind of bright lining or maybe narrow stripes — yellow, or red. I’m generally pretty boring/average, but in those few spots that are Lake-Wobegon-esque above average, then I’m very good. There just aren’t a ton of those spots, though, and although that used to bother me, it’s usually OK now that I’ve come to terms with the fact. 🙂

    When I read this title, I was waiting to see you write “yellow” as your color. I see you as yellow because you come off as pleasant, thoughtful, and a great mom. That is what I think of when I see yellow. I see my own mom as yellow as well!

      Aww, those are such nice reasons to think of me as yellow! I will happily be yellow. 🙂

What’s Kristen Prompted?

It’s me, writing from a list of daily prompts!

Although I always have a lot going on in my head, those thoughts can tend to stay cooped up in my brain.

But when I’m asked what I think about something, then I feel like I have permission to let some of my thoughts out.

So, this blog is a collection of daily essays, written because the list of daily prompts gave me permission to type. 😉

My main blog is The Frugal Girl, if you’d like to read more of my words!
