Life is weird and scarry, isn’t it? The hard times, the storms we never saw coming become the ultimate canvas where the true shades of people around us are revealed. It’s in these moments, when our world crumbles, that we see the colors of life.

For those you sacrificed for, giving up your dreams, your desires, and your peace, you would think they would stand by you, wouldn’t you? But suddenly, they vanish, leaving behind only the deafening silence of their absence. Some question you, some blame you, and others simply turn their backs. It is as if every bit of love, every compromise you made for them, disappears in the haze of your struggles.

The heartbreak is profound. It is not just the pain of being left alone but the realization that the faces you trusted whether bound by blood, marriage, relationships or friendships can change so quickly. Every smile you once cherished now feels foreign, every word you believed in now carries the weight of betrayal.

Hard times teach us so much more than we ask for. They teach us the harsh truth: no matter how much you give, some people will never see it. And even when you find it in your heart to forgive, the wounds remain. They take time to heal, don’t they? And the thoughts ooooooooHH, those thoughts. They’re like shadows, clinging to your every step, reminding you of what was lost and what was revealed.

But if there is one thing these moments give us, it is clarity. The clarity to see who truly stands by us, who truly cares, and who only wears a mask. And though the pain is sharp and the journey long, it is in these shades of people that we discover the rarest and most beautiful color of all: the strength within ourselves.

"In the darkest times, the true colors of people are revealed those you trusted may fade, but in their absence, you’ll find the strength to paint your own masterpiece."
