Today I understand how much color blindness has affected my life, and now it also hurts my feelings. This story can happen to you, my friend, so I think it's worth sharing.
Is it just a bad dream…
On the morning of February 5, 2020, I woke up feeling tired of listening to bad news about coronavirus on TV and decided to spend the first hour of my day watching some videos on YouTube.
How crazy is this year {2020}! It's just one bad news after another.
Give us a break 2020, I screamed silently in my mind.
And I can tell you this, what I didn't want to hear is another bad news…
At 9 AM I heard my phone ringing, and it was HER. The girl of my dreams.
I didn’t remember the last time she woke up this early during these lockdown days, so my first thought was “Something happened”.
“What's up babe? Is everything OK?”
“Yes” she replied “But we need to talk”
Oh, we all know this “we need to talk” phrase, don't we? Am I in trouble? Thoughts of ‘every’ possible thing I could’ve done to upset her just flashed in my mind in that few seconds.
“You don't need to say no more, just tell me WHY?” I whispered.
Today, I wish I didn't know why. Because the reason was ‘ME’.
My color blindness messed up my relationships. Can you believe it?! I still struggled to digest it in my mind for the whole day.
So at this point you probably think, so Mr. X how can something like that ruin a relationship? It must’ve been something else!
No, my friends, there is no mystery. My color blindness did mess up my relationship. How?
There are a lot of things a guy won't say or easily share, and many of those things can have a big impact on our life (relationship) without us noticing it.

TIPS & TRICKS FOR COLORBLIND PEOPLE
I was bullied back in school when I was a kid. Kids from other classes started to pick up on me when they found out I couldn't see some colors. It was fun for them. I grew up as a shy and not very social 27-year-old guy, who avoided too many interactions with “humans”.
Who feels uncomfortable going to crowded friends gatherings and parties with his girlfriend.
A guy who feels scared to buy flowers for his girl, just because “How the hell do I know what color they are?
A guy who feels uncomfortable going to fancy places, cause all I’ve got is 5 black T-shirts, a few white ones and two pairs of jeans. My dad is not a fancy dresser himself, he is a regular guy from a small town, so I didn't have anyone to teach me how to do this ‘outfit thing’, I wish I knew how to dress well.
Men’s world is different these days. The guys - they all look very stylish, dressing with brands, and it's attractive for girls. They have the confidence to be in any place with any kind of people.
But for me, with all the money in the world, I can't be like those guys. My color blindness affected me in many ways, and today I finally can admit it - February 2020.

I've got to be link honest: I'm pretty impressed here. If the link plan was actually as thought out as it appears to have been, this is the stuff of marketing genius. link DW and OBJ got everyone to focus in on one wrist for the first link two weeks of the NFL season, to cover it to death, and then to have to publicly eat crow when it all turned out to be a stunt.
It is officially March, which means it's Oscar month. The Academy Awards are slated to air on March 27, making link it the perfect time to wrist-gaze at some of this year's link Oscar hopefuls. Hill isn't nominated in any link acting categories, but the film has generated considerable buzz (and a Best Picture nom), as has his character's timepiece.
Wow, that's rough. It's crazy how something like color blindness, which you might not even think about, can cause so many problems. I can't believe it led to a breakup!

In link true vintage-watch nerd fashion, the bracelet is my favorite aspect of this piece. Seeing what is so, so close to the link legendary Speedmaster flat-link bracelet executed in pink gold just gets link my blood pumping. Sure, Omega made a Speedmaster in yellow gold, but never pink or rose. This bracelet is so classically vintage Omega in its style and works incredibly well on link this Seamaster.
