Back when I was a kid, you KNEW you were cool if you had this…
If you had this…
You were THE BOMB! The Man or Woman! The SHIT!!!
As kids, life was that simple. The bigger the box of crayons you had, the cooler you were. You could express yourself in all sorts of colors and variations.
Now they got this big box…
Which really ranks up there in coolness. Hell, even as an adult, I want this big bitch! It just reasserts my coolness. I want to color!
Here’s the thing though, the size of the box of crayons, if you think about it, relates to one’s openness to life.
Think about it. If you have just 8 crayons, that’s 8 colors and unless you know how to mix well, it is still a limited perspective. The bigger the box of crayons, the bigger the possibilities are. Same with life, the bigger the mindset, the bigger the possibilities. Life, like a box of crayons is filled with colors and possibilities.
Now, there are Crayon Nazis out there. You know the ones I am talking about. If you don’t, they’re the kids who organize their crayons by color family and don’t share because they don’t want or are afraid of something happening to their stuff. I read a blog called the Crayon Fascist. She admits to being one of those kids. Read here at http://wp.me/1jGJS. It’s kind of funky honestly. Sure, they have the big box of crayons, but the perspective could be still limited. For all they know, the kid who wants to share the box might have other ideas about color combos. Either way though, it’s all good! At least they got the big box of crayons!
Crayons, colored pencils, paints… all reflect that of life. A diversity that is ever expanding based on mixes and possibilities. The cool thing with crayons to me though… they are one of the first things we are given as kids. It was our time to expand and play. It’s true, kids have the best ideas and keep things simple while at the same time have a wide idea about what could be. They express that when they color with crayons or paints.
I still use crayons to this day. However, like the selection, my choices have expanded. So my current friend along with crayons are…
OPEN UP THAT BIG ASS BOX OF CRAYONS!
LET THE POSSIBILITIES COLOR A BEAUTIFUL IMAGE!
Buy Crayons or whatever!
