Rainbows of You V2

Over the horizon is a dazzling spectrum of colors. A prism of light beamed by your sunshine. Painted is a vibrant façade, the epitome of beauty, a magnificent masterpiece.

RED

You’re blood to my veins, And fire in my soul

A love so strong, I gave it all

This heart you woke shall never sleep

I fell, and it just keeps getting deep

ORANGE

You are the hue of my dusk and dawn

My sunrise, my sunset, I’m just so drawn

Still breath taking and extremely captivating

You were and will always be for me, stunning

YELLOW

It never changed and never will

You were, you are my sunshine, and always will

You are my life’s masterpiece, my favorite hue

The color of the sun, my sunshine, the color of you

GREEN

Hope is what you symbolize

With you, my future has been realized

I hoped before to make you mine

It happened, we’re one, until the end of time

BLUE

Calm as the ocean, tranquil as the sky

You’re my safe haven, my favorite lullaby

With you I’m at peace and free

No limits, no bounds, I can simply be me

INDIGO

Perfect tint of midnight blue

A color of me and you

It solidly means integrity

Forever and beyond, we give our loyalty

VIOLET

A lot of my tomorrows are unknown

Except for one, and one alone

My life with you, I see no end

Forever and beyond, I’ll hold your hand

Love as I said has no single color, it can plainly be black and white, and sometimes even gray. Other times it’s a blend, a multi-colored mixture. the variation is exhilarating, the thrill, the happiness, the craziness, it all blends to this beautiful rainbow. no longer just the color of you, but a perfectly imperfect beautiful color of me and you.

It’s All in the Balance

Fried chicken, rice, burger or pasta, and potato salad. I used to think that these foods couldn’t be part of a healthy diet. That if we are to be healthy, our meals needed to be composed of foods like salad greens, raw broccoli, and plain chicken breast. Healthy food was whole grain bread or brown rice, and unhealthy food was refined carbohydrates. I used to describe certain foods as “good” and “bad,” and that enjoying certain “bad” foods was a forbidden indulgence or a shameful show of weak will. But I later realized that thinking like this was not simply wrong. It also really sucked.

Along my health journey, I realized that like the Teishoku meals of the Japanese, to have a healthy meal simply means constructing a balanced portion of carbohydrates, vegetables, and protein, without skimping on flavor. A teishoku meal might have fried chicken, a food that is commonly deemed unhealthy, but in moderation and consumed with other vegetables.

In my case though, I stay away from rice as my main source of carbs. Anything actually with Lectins, for I learned to understand how my body hates Lectins. I now eat bread, yes gluten, but in moderation. If I eat bread or anything with gluten, I make sure that I only do it once a day, same as with dairy. So, I no longer feel deprived at all.

Eating in moderation completely changed the way I see healthy food, as no food is necessarily off-limits. It’s about balance and enjoying everything in moderation. Healthy eating may seem complicated at times, but with patience and a desire to change the way we eat, it’s definitely possible.
