In a refreshing turn of events, instead of viral challenges that are unbelievably dangerous and detrimental to one’s health, there’s an adorable trend taking over TikTok that’s all about spreading the love, compassion, and gratitude. The trend entails the user describing their “pink person” and their “blue person,” both of whom have significant meaning to their life. It’s all about who came into your life, right when you needed them, and which qualities they brought with them that enhanced your happiness.
For your (and our) convenience, TikTok users are sharing the meanings behind the labels. According to participating TikTokers, your “pink person” is someone that’s always been there for you, has seen you at your worst, you trust them above all others, and you never want to lose. As for your “blue person,” it’s someone who came into your life when you needed them the most, they’re someone you can always count on, who brings out the “real” you, and your life wouldn’t be the same without them.
Essentially, the “pink person” and “blue person” sound fundamentally identical, but there’s one core difference. For example, your “pink person” is your childhood best friend, whom you’ve known for a lifetime and been through the worst times of your life with. They’ve always been by your side through thick and thin. As for your “blue person,” they blew into your life like a gust of wind when you least expected it, picking you up out of a dark place or giving you love when you needed it. This could be a spouse, a co-worker, or even a stranger.
For once, rather than encouraging the more reckless side of TikTok, several users are coming together to spread positive vibes and share appreciation for the family, friends, and loved ones who make their lives that much better.
It doesn’t take much to get involved. Just compile a few photos and/or videos of yourself and your “pink” or “blue” person and slap on the hashtag. Let’s spread a little love.
That leaves just one question: Who is your “pink” or “blue” person?
