Red

By Nora Vota

Red. It’s not something people usually associate with happiness, care, and faith. It’s an angry color, a sad color, a color that doesn’t care. It says, “Stay away from me.” Usually associated with blood and fear, it is a color that most people stay away from. But “most people” doesn’t refer to everybody. Some people love the color red. Maybe it reminds them of sunsets or big red balloons from the fair. Maybe it reminds them of their childhood. Red raincoats and hats. Maybe it reminds them of their camping trips out in the woods. The big bonfires that they would have with their friends. These people are the ones that have big hearts. These are the ones that you have to keep close.
