Dear Green,
Where do I even begin? I guess I’ll start by saying: thank you. Thank you for being everywhere, and for being everything. You’re my forever color crush, my calming presence, my burst of life and energy. I don’t know how it started, but I can’t remember a time when I didn’t feel drawn to you in every shade, gradient, and variation.
You’re the color of fresh starts and new beginnings. You’re in the first buds of spring, stretching and yawning their way out of winter, and in the lush fullness of summer, making trees and grass glow under the sun. You’re the grounding force in my favorite parks and forests, where I feel most at peace, surrounded by a hundred hues of you.
In your softest shades, you’re sage and moss. In your deeper tones, you’re evergreen and emerald. No matter the shade, you always seem to know what I need. Even in your bright, electric neons, you bring a flash of joy and energy that lifts my spirits.
You’re also the color of balance. When I see you, I’m reminded to keep going, to stay grounded, and to let things grow at their own pace. Somehow, you always strike that perfect balance between calming and invigorating, restful and energizing.
Thank you, Green, for being a little piece of euphoria I can carry with me everywhere. You show up in the plants in my home, the clothes I wear, and even in my dreams, it seems. Thank you for teaching me about patience, resilience, and beauty. To me, you’re more than just a color—you’re a feeling, a state of mind, and a reminder of all the beautiful, natural things that keep me rooted.
Here’s to every shade of you and to a lifelong love affair with all that you are.
Forever yours,
Alejandra
