Have you ever noticed how talented children are these days? How pure they are, not yet corrected, not yet tainted, no criticism, no judgments. How blunt their opinions can be. How genuine their laughs and smiles are. How creative their drawings are. Their whole aura in general is completely authentic, and you tend to just want to be around them, hoping maybe some of it will rub off. Truth be told, it wont. We're already tainted, like a pair of jeans, the stains wont come off. Yeah, the stains might lighten up, that is, if you're lucky. But as a whole, our persona has been corrupted. Who's to blame? The media? Expectations? Whats normal? Whats cool? What is real anymore? And why is the word abstract so freely used now? Education and knowledge is priceless, yes indeed, but at the same time, there's a cost. While we are growing up, we are free from limitations, not knowing what to do, or what to say until someone limits us. I makes me wonder if its possible to live in a world controlled with all the laws and order, yet still be able to live uninhibited and free. Its kind of like the question we've all heard. What came first, the chicken or the egg? That's exactly it. We can't have both, it's impossible. Why though? Because we've already been tainted. Armed with this weak knowledge, we can only destroy our freedom with the seven sins, rather than trying to liberate ourselves, once and for all. I don't want to be taught about life, I rather be taught about the history of it all, and not the way I should be living mine. I just want to be free. I want to stand up to be me, I guess. All I ask of you is to just not judge me yeah? Actually, that's not even a question, that's a definite.

Don't live down to expectations. Go out there and do something remarkable.
