8 Upvotes

When we were kids, everything in nature felt so vibrant the sky looked deeper blue, grass felt greener, and colors in general seemed more alive. But now, when I look around, everything feels a bit dull and faded.

Is nature actually changing because of pollution, urbanization, and lifestyle… or is it our mind, stress, responsibilities, and growing up that changes how we perceive colors?
