If Michaela's Mood Had a Palette, It Would Be...

❀April 29, 2025❀

Well, I am writing this at 1:43 in the morning but I wanted to write something about colors and how each of these colors reflect my mood and inner world. Who knows I might make this a little series on my blog, we shall see. Anyways, I love colors. I love how colors are different and they each have their own unique way of conveying different moods and vibes. I think it is almost like there is a color for every mood and every situation. I am not afraid of color at all. I love to try new colors whether it is for my nails or my hair. I love to be vibrant one day and then nude and neutral the next. I do not shy away from color at all. Back to how I think I would describe my mood through a color palette. Hmmm. Okay yesterday I will admit that I slept all day and just laid in bed. But honestly, the sun was out and it was such a beautiful day that I wish I went outside earlier. I did go out in the evening and it was beautiful and serene. The sun was shining bright but not too bright to where you feel almost suffocated by it. The sky was this bright blue and it was almost clear. There were some clouds that were mixed with hues of yellow and white. They were soft but still present in the sky without taking up all the attention. The weather affected my mood a lot yesterday. I also went for a drive with Lee-Anne and it was good. We laughed and just chilled. Without further a due, here are the colors that I would pick for my current mood palette:

🎨MICHAELA RUTH'S CURRENT MOOD PALETTE🎨

Color #1: MELLOW YELLOW🌻🟨

Okay my first color on my current mood palette would have to be yellow. I don't know what it is about the color yellow lately but it has been on my mind a lot. To me, the color yellow right now just symbolizes hope and healing. It just brightens my mood. I could be going through the toughest storm but when I see the color yellow or use it, I just instantly feel this sense of hopefulness and I feel light. I would also say yellow represents my mood right now because it emphasizes strength. It is such a bright and bold color. It is hard not to notice yellow. I am also getting back into my obsession with sunflowers and guess what color they are...yup, yellow! Recently, I have also been doodling random sunflowers in my journal with yellow markers and highlighters. I love sunflowers and I hope I can see some in real life this summer. You know by going to one of those sunflower fields. I remember when I bought sunflowers with Mommy in August of 2020 at the flower shop on Winston Churchill. She let me pick out the ones that I wanted and she bought them for me. I still have a picture of them saved in my Snapchat memories. Yeah I💛YELLOW.

Color #2: DEEP PURPLE🔮💟

For my second color on my mood palette, I would pick a deep purple. I think this color speaks to me because it just represents being reflective and moody. Deep purple just feels so rich and yet vibrant. It is still bold like yellow but it has a subtle mystic to it. Recently, I got my hair done in a silk press and I wore this rich purple lace top. It was just elegant but still cute. I also love these emojis too: 🔮💟. Deep purple also reminds of me of transformation. It is still a deep color for spring but it almost takes you out of the heaviness that comes with being surrounded by the coldness of winter for so long. April just feels like a purple month to me and I am not sure why. I wanted my nails to be some shade of purple this month. I think that deep purple has a quiet power to it just like me. It is like "hey you see me and I am here but I do not make a lot of noise." I love that. Oh, I came back to write that when I was searching for images of deep purple objects, I came across a rock band that is actually called Deep Purple. I have been listening to a lot of rock music as of lately. It has been helping me to take out my anger and just process everything I have been through this month. I thought that was cool.

Color #3: GREENISH-GRAY🍃🍐

Alright my last color contender for my mood palette. I was really tied between putting down like a blue or gray color but here we are. DRUM ROLL PLEASE tapping drum sounds...okay my last color is a greenish-gray. I know what you're thinking, Michaela, you and green? Yeah I know, I know, I never thought I would be that much of a green girl but hear me out. To say that the month of March was hellish could be an understatement but as much as there were extremely tough moments, I also had moments where I felt like life is worth living, aha like that Justin Bieber song on TikTok. Okay but seriously, there were moments even a bit yesterday where I felt a sense of calm like everything was somehow going to be okay. The moments where I would go for walks outside just to clear my head and the air would fill my lungs with this ease. Like back on March 10th when I just went to Port Credit by myself and soaked up the sun and the views of the water. I think that day was our first real warm day of the month. It was beautiful. I also chose greenish-gray because of my nails. Ugh, I really hate this color but I went with it for St Patrick's Day and it STILL hasn't come off my nails yet as of the 29th. I have been getting compliments on my nails even though they look crusted and busted. Oh well. Yeah, I think greenish-gray is just a-okay (see what I did there)? Lemme stop. ☻
