30 Days Until 30 - Day 9

The older I get, the more I learn. Hopefully this will never stop. One of the most important lessons I've learned is that life is not black & white. A lot of moments, actions, etc exist in a grey area. And most of life's moments are full on rainbow.

People are constantly taking sides, drawing imaginary lines in the sand, & otherwise building walls between each other. This is not only unwise, but unhealthy.

We can't always forget or accept each other's differences, mistakes, or challenges. But we can embrace them & build off of them. Living life as clones or drones w

ould be boring, but living in hostility or passive agressiveness is obviously hurting us as people.

We're all floating around on the same spinning sphere not knowing what's to come & never agreeing on where we came from. The least we can do is do it together.

The next time you're ready to make your mark in the sand, make sure you haven't boxed yourself off from someone who could have helped you grow.

"We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box." - Robert Fulghum

"Life is about using the whole box of crayons." -RuPaul

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing." - John Mayer
