Things I Could Never Say

The Colour Theory

There's a theory that everyone sees colors differently. That what I see as red, you could see as blue and someone else could see as purple. Sometimes I think I believe in it, but in a much bigger perspective; what if it were like that for every sense. It would explain why we each have different favorite's, different colors that appeal to us, different likes and dislikes in food, different tastes in music and different smells that we're fascinated with. I personally hate popping candy, I hate the way the rox hurt my tongue and the crackling is simply annoying, but other people say they love it. How can that be possible if it's the same thing? Maybe it's the color theory, yes it's the same but everyone registers it differently. Maybe I taste hell when what you taste is sweet candy.
But what about love? I've lived with myself for almost 14 years. I know every inch of myself twice over and when I look in the mirror I see imperfections. To me my body is pop rox. I've tried so many times to get used to the way it feels but I just can't. And I wonder how anyone could fall in love with me, but maybe just maybe the person that my eyes register isnt how others register me. Maybe I see myself as dark blue cloud while someone else sees me as pink cotton candy skies, and to others I'm a deep orange sunrise, they might see a different person in me, a person who is beautiful. The problem is though, we can never be sure what the people around us see and hear and think. We just assume that everyone expierences the day the same way. Because science is science and some things are just too philosophical to be proven false, but I'll keep dreaming that I'll meet someone who sees lilac sunsets and tastes strawberry icecream when they eat chocolate because maybe they'll see something different in me. I like myself as much as I like popping candy, which isn't much, but maybe I'll just have to find someone who feels like crackle differently.
