Stop counting crayons

Life is about using the whole box of crayons. ~RuPaul

How is it that our society has made even the simpleness of coloring with crayons into a complicated learning algorithm? It seems ironic that adults make kids activities more complicated, but as they get older they are trying to simplify their lives.Humans were made to think outside of the box, be crazy! If we use all of the resources given to us we can become AMAZING!!! however, as we grow up the world tries to contain our awesomeness because it is too great to handle. So they push us down with rules and expectations of how we SHOULD think, SHOULD act, and SHOULD feel. They try to make us all seem like we came from the same molds...BUT WE DIDN'T! Some of us were chiseled from stone, some hatched, and others created in a factory.  The differences that we all have are what make the human race so beautifully enigmatic
We are like a box of crayons.

A great man once told me a story...
When he was growing up his family was never very wealthy. He was the youngest of five. He grew up to be an amazing man, but until he was the age of 65 he had never once been given a brand new box of crayons. His crayons were the broken, rounded ones that his siblings had discarded and no longer wanted to use. But every time he used those crayons, they were new to him.They were his and his alone. They meant the world to him, that;s all that mattered.
