Yellow Paint

Vincent Van Gogh used to eat yellow paint because we thought it would get the happiness inside him. If you were so unhappy that even the maddest ideas could possibly work, like painting the walls of your internal organs yellow, then you are going to do it.

These words about Van Gogh used to eat yellow paint and how Alexandra interpret it, make me realize that we always do the same as Van Gogh. Not by eating yellow paint, but in other crazy form.

Imagining Van Gogh eating yellow paint made some of us think that he was crazy, but have you ever feel so much pain in your chest and unhappy? Really really unhappy?

Van Gogh must be felt so unhappy back then and he was tired of unhappiness that consumed him, so he tried eating yellow paint in hope that it would made happiness comes to his life.

Don't you realize, us, sometimes do the same way?

Some of us drink alcohol in hope it will erased the pain,

Some others smoke cigarette to feel at ease,

And there are certain of people take any type of drugs, from sleeping pills to illegal drugs just to feel okay,

Not to mention people who sleep everytime they have spare time just so they could forget the pain.

Every one of us have our own way of grieving, we have our own way to bring the happiness inside us. If Van Gogh used Yellow Paint as his toxic, we use our own.

As for me, you are my yellow paint.
