Hopelessly Yellow

Hopelessly Yellow is an Instagram and website duo that promotes mental health and spreads positivity through writing, music, and art. Founded in 2020, Hopelessly Yellow revolves around the little things: the yellow things. The sea of maize and blue spirit on a Saturday morning, the cotton-candied Ann Arbor skies, or laughing so hard that your stomach hurts. We agree that yellow is a state of mind, and we want to share that idea. Hopelessly Yellow exists to cover anything and everything, good and bad: it is a lifestyle. In a world with so much hopelessness, we want to highlight the Hopelessly Yellow times - the small moments that make you really excited and grateful to be alive.
