What colour are my eyes?
It sounds like a simple question. Most people would answer without hesitation: brown, blue, green, hazel, grey. A fact. A label. A shade on the outside that says something about genetics and nothing about soul. But for me, that question holds layers. Itâs not just about pigment. Itâs about perception. Itâs about story. Itâs about how you see yourself⌠and how the world sees you back.
So, what colour are my eyes?
Some say brown. Others see amber when the sun hits just right. Someone once told me they look like melted chocolateâwarm, sweet, familiar. Another person said they look like coffee: strong, rich, with a hint of mystery. And maybe thatâs the truthâmaybe they change, depending on the light, the mood, the moment.
Because my eyes arenât just eyes. Theyâre memory-keepers.
Theyâve seen joyâpure, unstoppable joy. Theyâve lit up at birthdays, sparkled at surprises, widened with wonder at falling snow, first kisses, sunsets on rooftops, or the feeling of dancing without fear. Theyâve closed tightly in laughter, watering with happiness so full it couldn’t be contained.
Theyâve seen pain, too. They’ve welled up during nights that felt too heavy. They’ve stared blankly at ceilings, asking silent questions. Theyâve watched people walk away, and sometimes, they were the last to say goodbye. Theyâve criedâopenly, quietly, secretly. Because these eyes have lived, not just looked.
But beyond all that, my eyes reflect something deeper. Something invisible to mirrors. They show my fire. My softness. My dreams. They show my story, one glance at a time.
What colour are my eyes?
Theyâre the colour of every late night spent writing my heart out. Theyâre the shade of strength I didnât know I had until life tested me. They reflect the softness I carry for the people I love. They shine with curiosity when Iâm learning something new, and flicker with excitement when I talk about something Iâm passionate about.


Theyâre not just brown or hazel or gold. Theyâre alive.
Someone once told me, âYour eyes speak before your mouth does.â And Iâve always held that close. Because sometimes, words fall short. But eyes? Eyes are honest. They can’t hide the truth, even when you try. My eyes have betrayed me when Iâve said âIâm fineâ and didnât mean it. Theyâve revealed joy when I tried to stay calm. Theyâve glowed around the right people and dimmed around the wrong ones. Eyes are windows, they say. And my windows have been wide openâwhether I realized it or not.
But hereâs the funny thing: most people never notice. Theyâre too focused on the surface. On whatâs expected. They ask what colour my eyes are, but donât take the time to see them. Not really. They donât lean in. They donât look past the obvious. They donât ask, âWhat stories live behind those eyes?â
Except the rare ones. The ones who see more.
Those people? They look at me and say, âThereâs a lot going on behind those eyes, isnât there?â And I smile. Because they get it. They know that eyes arenât just for seeingâtheyâre for being seen.
So, what colour are my eyes?
Theyâre the colour of resilience. Of falling down and standing upâagain and again. Theyâre the colour of laughter after tears, of hope after heartbreak. Theyâve changed over the years, not physically, but emotionally. Theyâve deepened. Theyâve learned. Theyâve softened where they were once sharp. Theyâve become more patient, more forgiving, more open to the messiness of life.
Theyâre also the colour of love.

Because when I look at the people I love, something shifts. My eyes shine in a different wayâfull of admiration, comfort, safety. And when someone sees me with that same look? Thatâs magic. Thatâs connection. Thatâs when I know Iâm truly being seenânot just as a face, but as a soul.
So, what colour are my eyes? đ
Theyâre the colour of everything Iâve been through. The people Iâve met. The places Iâve seen. The lessons Iâve learned. Theyâre not just a colourâtheyâre a story. A journey. A feeling.
Theyâre mine.
And maybe the exact shade doesnât matter. Maybe what matters is that they reflect meâunapologetically, fully, beautifully.
Next time someone asks, I might just smile and say:
âLook closely. You tell me.â
Because if you really lookâif you see past the surfaceâyouâll know.
My eyes are the colour of love, strength, light, and life.
And theyâre beautiful.
