For most of my life the world was plain and grey. My family never had any money, and we were lucky to even get anything to eat. It wasn't because they didn't/couldn't work, it was because they never knew having a child would be so expensive. Luckily it was just me and my mothers, they never decided to adopt another child. They would always tell me that someday I'll find the person that will make my world full of color. I believed them at first but then I started losing hope, eventually I was certain I would only ever be able to see grey. I passed through high school with a high GPA and honors, college was practically payed for me. I got a job while going to college, and I was finally able to have money to spend on myself, and I didn't need to send money back home because they where able to get back on their feet. After I saved up enough money I decided to get a computer. I brought it home after picking it up at the store and got everything set up.
As soon as I pressed the power button, the world was flooded with color. I sat there shocked, I eventually started to cry. Was this my true love, was I never meant to love another human being?....

This took a beautiful turn :D
@deathfox393 you are an artist!
It was not the cold machinery that provided color, but all the people connected to it. The emotions, hope and unity that spread between people from every corner of the planet painted the world with the magestic hues we have found in our experiences.
I love how @deathfox393 casually made the mothers lesbians. Like, it's a truth, but it's not what the story is about. It's incredibly normalizing, really cool. :)
Having been happily married for 20 years, I had enjoyed the color of the world to its fullest, never once taking for granted the spectrum at my disposal. Untill one day suddenly all my color went away, desperate to regain my color, I called my partner hoping to get a hold of them to come back to me so we could see what went wrong, were they no longer my soul mate? What's would I do if they weren't? How could we live? next thing I knew I had my answer , a policeman showing up at my doorstep telling me my partner wouldn't be coming home that day
Wasn't there a movie about this? Except you didn't get color when you met your soul mate, but when you lost your virginity. Can't remember the name of it, though.
Pleasantville, 1998. Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon and Paul Walker. Won three Oscars for Art & Set, Costume and Music.
And it wasn't virginity. It was learning to embrace your passions and be an individual... not the middle America, white picket fence conformist often portrayed in 50's television.
No wonder I didn't remember it well, it's been so long since it came out. Thanks for the details on it, though. I must've just remembered the part about the sister and thought it had applied to everyone.
What if when you touch though you lose your color blindness and they suddenly become color blind and OHMYGAWD it turns out they're freaking seeing the world through each others eyes... they literally are looking from the view of the other person!!!

At least that's what I got out of it.
