Everyone has their yellow paint- Alexandra Timmer. Metaphorically, yellow paint signifies something that makes you happy, even though it is toxic. The story goes that Vincent Van Gogh ate yellow paint thinking that consuming it would paint his insides bright and yellow and make him happy. All too often this story is painted in an inspiring light. People romanticize this as something beautiful. Yellow paint didn’t pave the way to his happiness, it threw him down a spiraling path of self-destruction. The symbolic yellow paint nearly drove him mad. Suicide isn’t romantic and self-destruction isn’t pretty. Rather than painting over the ugliness, look at it and learn from it. . . . . . . . .
