“The rainbow didn’t betray you. The world wasn’t ready for it.”
I was called “too much” in a million unspoken ways.
Too loud. Too weird. Too emotional. Too bright.
I wore every color at once — rainbow-coded.
And I was laughed at. Not always cruelly. But enough.
Enough to make me fold.
Even my family — loving, sweet, trying — didn’t always know how to hold the storm of brilliance I brought into a room.
So I started to shrink.
I became the self-monitor. The safe one.
I masked. I adapted.
I bent my tone, my clothes, my expression — just enough to not be rejected.
Even later — in art class, in photography — I was still misread.
Criticized. Told my style was a problem.
That I was “too much” — again.
But eventually…
I began to make art on my own terms.
Rule-breaking. Color-bursting. Unapologetic.
That rainbow child didn’t vanish.
She just waited for the world to catch up.
