Pink Used To Be My Favorite Color

I love the color pink.

I love pink toe nail polish, pink scarves, pink colored chocolate, pink flowers, pink Converse tennis shoes.

I could go on and on about the things I love in pink and how I could not imagine my world without the color pink in it.

I type in pink fonts while answering my e-mail, I highlight my homework in only pink highlighters, and I accessorize outfits around how I can incorporate the color pink into my ensemble.

I have a passion for pink as you can get from the previous mentions of the color pink in this blog but there is one thing I hate in the color pink.

I hate pink eye.

After living on this earth for twenty one beautiful years while enjoying my good looks that God blessed me with, in came this overbearing viral infection that has left me down in the dumps for two weeks now.

I have never been the sick child nor experienced pink eye or "conjunctivitis" before so when I began seeing the icky warning signs of pink eye I continued to use eye products that made the infection worsen to the point that I looked like Satan's mistress.

With blood shot eyes I began rocking the Stevie Wonder look, wearing shades every where until I began realizing how ridiculous I looked with sunglasses on in Publix at nine in the evening.

My little sister gave the infection to me, which reminds me I need to give her a good kick in the face next time I see her.

After missing work for a week because of how bad my eyes looked, I left my self inflicted quarantine and went to see an optometrist who quote called my pink eye "very impressive."

Can you imagine how embarassing it was for me to hear that my doctor gave the most "impressive" pink eye award for the year to not a snot nosed eight year old but to a college student.

I had to return to the doctor not once but twice because I still looked cracked out and gross and the eye drops prescribed to me were not working at all.

I am proud to say I have beat the pink eyed monster and have disinfected my entire life it feels like so I never have to exeperience this wretched period of my life again.

I love the color pink in the purest form but pink eye can stay the hell away from me.
