Jigsaw puzzles. Everyday hundreds of people put together these amazing little pictures, and at the same time everyone in the world puts together the ultimate one: the puzzle of their life. Picture yourself as a puzzle. What shapes are you made of? Are they sharp cornered, or are they smooth and rounded? Is it the regular rectangular shape, or something so much more creative? And if you were a puzzle, which pieces would be missing?¶
I look at people everyday, trying to see something beyond what I can see on the outside. I try and take their everyday routines and take some more information about them from it. That's where I got this idea from. As I look at some of the ideas, some of the dances, the dress, and the music, I realized that there seems to be one puzzle piece which most people seem to lose: the creative one.¶
I feel that the world is losing the sense of need and desire for creativity. I guess this is because of a similar piece which looks exactly like the creativity piece: the duplicate piece. I know that there are many people who say conformity is a major issue in teen life, but for me, I think the pressure to be the same is at times creating a hole into which these puzzle pieces fall. I say this because society now condemns those who think outside of the norm. So, I ask you this: Why is it that I have to dress, act, dance, think a certain way which helps you, but you can change your ways every day?¶

This passage really does speak to me. About time it was mentioned.. I myself am sick and tired of everyone wanting to be like everyone else due to popularity or simply a "want-to-fit-in" factor.. seriously, has everyone on this Earth lost their minds where they don't remember what it's like to be themselves?
norm and the status quo that everyone is expected to follow
I am not a person one can box...mold and shape in their own way
I define the rules of who and what I am....what I want to be labeled and described as
no one else has the right to try to make me be, anything that I do not want to be

Ah, another amazing person who thinks outside of the globe. My hat is to you. May you live a long and happy life. I'm merely saying that as of right now, those who do not see our way of looking at things merely live their lives without expanding while those who do expand are told to come down. The world works in mysterious ways. I thank you though. I will be checking out your posts soon.
The way an adult's brain works is take something and come up with a logical answer for it. The way a child's brain works is take something and turn it into something new which entertains them. The way an artist's brain works can not be described in words.
