An Old Blogpost Brought to Life

I wrote this at the beginning of last summer, and I liked the concept. I just wanted to have a copy of it on this blog :)

Ramblings on a lazy summer day...

I’m here in Philly for my cousin’s graduation party and a wedding, but it’s pretty slow right now because nobody else has arrived yet. My days are spent browsing online, watching WAY too many chick flicks, randomly heading out with my cousins, and lying on the couch just daydreaming, which gives me just a little too much time to let my thoughts wander.
So yesterday, during one of my frequent on-the-couch-daydreaming sessions, the weirdest thought occurred to me: How do we know that we all see colors the same way? What if what I see as green is what you see as blue, and what I see as blue is what you see as green. (Did that make any sense at all?) I mean, "blue" and "green" are just words we use to indicate to others what color we mean. From an early age, we’re taught to recognize the colors we see using given terms, but there’s no guarantee that we all see the same colors, is there? Even if we all look at this text and identify it as black, that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re seeing the same thing. It’s just what each of us has been trained to recognize as black.
Okay, I think I’m even confusing myself now, so I’ll stop…
Until next time :]


Haha, my writing style seems to have changed dramatically since summer... although I kind of like the way it used to be.
Definitely have to get back to that...
