I don’t have an exact date, but far too long ago now my brain and body stopped functioning in a way that I wanted. I’ve lived in constant pain for more years than I would like to admit. The pain has intensified to the point where I thought “Surely, this has got to be close to the end right? How much more life is there really left to live?” The answer to that is still unknown to me, but I’m 39 years old. The idea of living in this much pain for the rest of my life has become unbearable. I have to do something, and it has to be now. If the tomorrows are going to keep on coming, I have to live Better.
My brain is a scrambled mess, so I think it is safe to assume that much of what I write may come across as disjointed and confusing. I’m choosing to say “So what?” and just begin. If I wait until it’s perfect, I’ll never do anything. I’m going to do it messy. Please, follow along for the sake of progress.
In terms of online presence, everyone wants to put their best foot forward. Well me, I’m going to show my ass.

Hey friends, I’m a higher education student just attempting to explore color theory, and I’m honestly pretty confused. I’ve been trying to understand my personal color palette, but my undertones just don’t appear to fit neatly into warm or cool. I’ve taken numerous online quizzes, and the results are all over the place—one said I’m a soft summer (cool and muted), another called me neutral warm, and yet another just tagged my undertones as neutral. It gets even more complicated when I try the standard tests like looking at my wrist veins—I can clearly see hints of both blue and green—and holding white paper next to my face affects how my skin looks depending on the lighting. Some days it feels like I’m warm, other days cool, and sometimes just neutral, which is the most vague answer! It’s really exhausting because I want to pick clothes and makeup that suit me, but when the indicators contradict each other, it’s hard to know what to trust. I came across a in-depth blog post about analyzing neutral skin undertones that helped clarify some of this confusion and offered some helpful advice, so I wanted to share it with anyone else wrestling with the same issue color analysis . Has anyone else dealt with ambiguous neutral undertones and learned ways to figure out which palettes actually work for them? Do you think it’s better to follow your instincts when testing colors in natural light rather than quizzes? Any pointers, tricks, or personal stories about dealing with mixed or unclear undertone signals would be super appreciated!
