So... why the "Seven colours of light" well... I believe life is a bit of a spectrum and that in any one day, in any one moment, we can have a whole range of emotions, feelings and experiences that reflect those moments, activities and parts of time in our life. All light is actually white light reflected at different angles, a rainbow is the refracted light caused by glassy like objects that light shines through...so even though we all tend to shy away from the dark colours, the greys and deep purples of this world in search of the vibrant sunshiny yellows and warm pinks of opportunity that life brings us, it is all bought to as as LIGHT as HOPE...it is all the same at different angles, it is ALL a part of life.
Why the "wrong side of the rainbow"? Because my life has been a disaster zone! But I've worked with a lot of people in my life and I'm aware that man other people have lives that also reflect disaster zones too! We're not alone in holding onto hope, in trying to manage the daily issues that are multicoloured. I want to be able to think I'm wise and insightful....but well, surely my life wouldn't be quite as chaotic as it is if I had all the answers right? I just don't, have all the answers that is. Sometimes I'm arrogant, but I'm always well meaning... however, I'm on a journey of discovery and looking for my own "pot of gold" and whatever that may resemble in life. Most of the time, I feel like I'm the at the invisible start of the rainbow... the one where no one quite knows where the rainbow comes from (ignoring all physics here)... but such is life. I suffer with a wide range of physical and mental health issues that leave me reeling and often unsure how to proceed for the next hour, let alone the next day, week or month! But I'm honest, very honest and I bring with me not only my personal experience, but a hell of a lot of study and training with a background in social work, mental health and research.
My health has left me oscillating between life and death, good and bad, hope and thankfulness and despair, anger and frustration... I'm human in a netherworld. I started writing blogs about 4-5 years ago, chat rooms and message boards further back then that... I started this blog because I wanted to talk about real things and generate discussion. I don't want to antagonize people and I don't want to just vent all my frustrations to the world (there are better places for me to do that), but I do want to write and hear your voices, I want to represent those that are too quite to represent themselves...most of all, I want to try and bring some hope and perspective to people who are maybe sitting on the wrong side of the rainbow and trying to understand how this life thing all works out! So we'll see how it unfolds, but whatever I do, I definitely want to demonstrate that life is a spectrum of colours, thoughts and opinions. That they (differences in the colours of life) CAN exist together and actually together make up something more beautiful then the colours on their own.
