Reality bites.

... not only does it bite, it bites [hard] AND leaves a mark.

Frig.

So when reality bites, don't be a fool.... bite back.

Over the last couple of months, I've been getting to know myself a bit better...I've been learning about my  own boundaries and limits. Feeling out what I like, what I don't like. What I want, what I don't want. What I need, what I don't need. Things that make me uncomfortable, things that I am willing to try regardless of feeling uncomfortable. What I tend to do, what I would never do. Things I can tolerate and things I need to be more assertive about ...Its definitely been an interesting journey of self discovery.

For as long as I can remember, I've been a certain type of person. Predictable. But recently, I've come across a new box of crayons with a wide range of vibrant colours, colours I've never used before. Its not about the basic 8-pack anymore, but about busting out the 64-colour pack with the built in sharpener (who knew crayola would be so efficient). Who needs the standard blue, rose, violet and yellow when you can be using Magic mint, Jazzberry jam and Laser lemon. I cant help but explore and see what all the different colours look like and even dare say... to  colour outside the lines.

But as I'm colouring,  I come to realize, the template I thought I needed to follow isn't even there.... but I have a blank page of endless possibilities.  Colour away I say, Colour away ! Lets try out these bad boys and draw me an awesome picture. 



On a side note:
who remembers that movie?  The days before winona became a kleptomaniac?
