Beautiful story ❤️

[@jimihendrix1575]

Such a 'non-story'. I have 'green-brown' color blindness, and guess what? It's not a big deal at all. My father is REALLY color blind. I mean, very badly. But he soon realized, he still saw colors, just not the 'correct' colors. He adapted, so when he would approach a traffic light, he didn't see red, yellow or green, but which light was illuminated (top, middle or bottom) he knew whether or not to stop. The man was a INSTRUMENT REPAIRMAN for 35 years! Meaning, he was an electrician. He dealt with different colored wires all day long. You learn to adapt. This illustrator is nothing special. Everybody wants to think they're special. You're not.
