A Friendship Rubik's Cube
This game has no rules
A Rubik’s cube has 6 colours.
Now, let’s pretend each colour represents something you care about. For example: health, family, fun, food, music, or your career.
A Friendship Rubik’s Cube is about this. It’s about knowing who represents each colour and how to mix them up. Remember, there are no rules for this game. In this game, you don’t have to arrange each side of the cube by colour. You just have to follow your intuition. It’s a bit like ‘Synesthesia’, where you connect the right colour to the person who represents it.
I’m giving you a life hack here.
And if you already knew this (I’m sure most of you did), then take this as another gentle reminder.
When my Rubik’s Cube needs some assistance in terms of food (let’s call it the colour red), I know who to reach out to. I already have my list of "reds" who can help me out with this matter. And this red friend can sometimes change colour and become blue or orange. Like I said, no rules here.
I find it extremely helpful to know how to arrange this cube — in my own terms, of course. This also takes a lot of weight off the people we’re reaching out to.
The best part is that you can keep rearranging the cube over and over again, nonstop. All the colours mix, and it’s just SO beautiful.
How to colour-match the person?
We’ll leave this one to intuition too (and a LOT of practice)
The thing about colour matching is that it’s seasonal. You see, a person might be blue for one season and green for another. It’s important to recognise this because you don’t want to mess up your sorting stage, but you also need to be open to changing the order.
My red food friend might become my blue career friend next season, and I need to be open to the possibility that one friend can come in many colours too. But it’s up to me to see and feel their true colour (and to celebrate it, always).
And then there’s the unexpected colours—the ones you didn’t see coming. Like that person who walks into your life and suddenly brings a shade you didn’t even know existed in your cube. These are the ones that don’t fit neatly into the cube, but they make it better and more vibrant. So, keep an eye out for the new shades.
To conclude, I would like to leave you with this article. It’s about how many colours are there in the world. I love how, scientifically, we can prove a specific number of colours, but it’s all connected to the capacity of the human eye to perceive them.
Te quiero!
