Collection of pink
Here lies memories of pink hues, blushed cheeks, guilty pleasures, fruity scents, Polly Pocket, flesh and Barbie dolls.
Thoughts on pink
As a kid, a girl, I internalized that loving pink was a weakness. I wanted to go as far as possible from what it was associated with :
the delicacy of the dolls small limbs, the fragility of the make-up powder, the helplessness of the princesses.
I never understood why I had to be girly, feminine. Why in the shops, they were two choices : a toy or its pink counterpart.
It was so forced upon me that I felt there were really only two solutions, to be assimilated into a bubblegum conglomerate of girls or to reject pink and what its linked to (even if I like some of it).
I present to you, the big, the dreaded :
Well... A bunch of years (and two coming outs later), I decided it was utter bullshit.
That I sincerly loved pink, that there was no shame in it, that I can love and express exactly what I want.
Who cares ? When reflecting on gender and my misunderstanding of the neurotypical norms, I realized I could chose how I want people to percieve me.
And I chose to be unapologetically myself.

La couleur des sentiments
Le rose, c’est la couleur de la joie,
Du rire qui éclate,
Des câlins qui réchauffent,
Et des bisous qui volent.
- Anna Llenas
