I've been buying colorful and tie dyed bandanas. I love them. I've always struggled to properly express myself. But I'm realizing that by throwing on bright colors helps people approach me. I even plan to get a tattoo to make it easier to talk about my life to other people. These bandanas are awesome because they literally replaced hair ties for me. Its a stretchy one that I could wear like a mask. But also lets me wear it around my wrist like a sweat band. I got long curly hair that goes down to the center of my back so I really needed something like this.

Importance of expression
Hi there I think colour is important I love summery bright colours green yellow pink I avoid the dull ones even in winter I have some colourful jackets cheery colours I do feel cheer us up 😊not a fan of tattoos but I'm 59 I think people get one then want another and another as you get older your flesh shrinks and the skin gets looser so by age 7o or so sooner if you go in the sun and ages your skin your tattoos will look distorted I know this from my dad's, my niece however got one nice tattoo on her lower back and stopped at that why she did I don't know as no one can see it do what makes you feel good I guess😁
Interesting finding people approach you more. I will have to try that. Any other tricks you have learned? I won't get a tattoo lol
A cool little mind trick. Bright colors are more noticable. We actually recognize green first usually before the darker colors. I'm trying to express who I am more by facing that fear of being judged for what I wear. I've realized that my whole life I've avoided bright clothing. But now I'm realizing I'm getting more glances from people in a non negative way. Some people even compliment me. It's actually making me feel better about speaking to others. I even plan to tie dye a hoodie in black and bright colors.
I think the tattoo is a great idea.
That sounds cool, it sounds like its going to be a very large tattoo
I do something similar, I wear outrageous Teeshirts (unusual for a 76 year old woman, but it make folk laugh and often gets a comment!)
Cheers, Midori
Thats awesome. I've been through a lot, but I've come to realize that our pain and traumas lead us astray. But deep down we're all compassionate and caring in some way. We all have a kid in us and no one should be afraid to express that. Even in old age. Like with myself and I forgot who I was and what my needs were. I'm bringing my friends together again after 8 years of on and off get togethers. After confessing how I haven't been good. I think they all realize that about themselves. Going to college has taken so much of their time I think they forgot how to fully express themselves to their friends.
So anyway, rock on midori
Express yourself because its what makes us human. Much love to you ❤️
Hello, I'm glad that you like colors and they make you happy. Your happiness comes first.
