it's just what humans do

vincent van gogh used to eat yellow paint because he believed it would bring out or get the happiness inside of him.

people would call him stupid and crazy because clearly the paint was toxic.

also reminding him that eating paint had no direct correlation with his happiness.

but i realized that he must have found him self so unhappy that the only thing bringing him true hapiness was painting his internal organs yellow, and if that was the only thing that worked, then he was going to do so


us humans. are no different.

vincent eating yellow paint is really no different than falling in love or taking drugs.

falling in love with someone gives us the risk of getting our hearts broken. and taking drugs has the risk of over dosing

but people still do these things everyday because there is always a chance that even for the slightest moment, it can give us happiness.

we all have our yellow paint.
