Painting One's Futures

How would you feel if we all lived in black and white? The grayscale experience I can honestly say would probably be relatively boring despite the movie "shadow" effect that we all love.

I personally like my color and variety. Pastels, neons, anything!

Why can't we make our lives the same?

How would you feel doing everything in a boring monotone manner? Only doing everything you're told that you may not love but may not mind. Everyone acts the same as they always have, dates the same people, eats the same food, takes the same classes, walks the same streets, sings the same songs. Everything.

Why can't we explore the dense horizons and adventure through the possibilities? We can! We just choose not to. We do what we've been expected to do throughout our whole life, and wonder in the end why we have no stories to tell. Nothing interesting to reflect on and encourage in the children we will have that will carry on in our future.

Go on that vacation, eat that odd looking place of food, take that random class, date that unusual classmate or acquaintance. Be spontaneous!

Color your world with different colors, hues, tints, and textures.

Be YOU.
