Blue could mean a lot of things. To one person, it's the sky. To another, it's the ocean. But no matter the shade, no matter the saturation or tint, no matter how bright or dark it is; it's always been the same to me. No other color could change it. Not even red. Because then purple would technically be another variation of blue, simply just red mixed in to cover up what it really is.
But that doesn't make much sense, does it? It doesn't. But I don't care because nothing matters. The red doesn't matter, the purple doesn't matter, and the blue doesn't matter.
Not even if it's a deeper shade of blue.
I don't care enough to listen.
