When I'm 73 with light blue hair, I will say, "Go ahead, paint my walls red. Life is short!" But since I'm 37 and stupid and thinking that I still have a lot of time, I'll say, "Okay, we can start with an accent wall, but maybe we should keep the rest of the walls beige to stay safe?"

Someday I will be 73, reckless and free.
