Past Experiences With True Colors?
While watching the last episode of “Glee” it suddenly hits me how much this show revolves around dishonesty. Of course it is obvious in the plot line, but when you first see some of the lies the show revolves around it is hard to see them as realistic lies that we may encounter. Then this episode comes along and touches on exposing even more lies then finishes the show off with the group singing “True Colors”.
When I was in choir in high school my teacher just happened for this to be a the song that all choirs sang together on for our senior concert. Of course this senior concert was while my boyfriend and I were breaking up. The break up was pretty simple and straight forward. He was older and we went to different schools, his best friend was in my choir though and we were very close. It happened that he was watching me while we were singing that song and it really touched me. They were all getting ready to leave the school, and I was just starting my journey there really. Since that day, whenever I see someone for what they really are this song pops back into my head.
It does not always have to mean that someone truly is a great person inside, but sometimes you see their true colors and realize they are not that great inside after all. This episode really got me thinking about past relationships and present ones. Sometimes true colors shining through are deal makers and sometimes they are deal breakers! What are your absolute true color moments from your life? Were the deal makers, deal breakers, or just reassuring that you were making the right choices?
