When you’re a kid, you color with reckless abandon. You color outside the lines. You color however you feel. Blue elephants, purple trees, red bears, green oceans — it’s all good. 

​

As you get older, though, everyone tells you to stay inside the lines, to color everything just like you see it. 

 

You end up painting by numbers — whether you actually paint or whether you write or sing or dance or work. I think you should create what you feel. 

 

Create outside the lines. 

 

I want to watch green oceans, and red bears. I’d love to listen to purples trees and long to read blue elephants
