The infinite possibilities

Think about the day you've just had. You follow a routine. For some of us we get up early, go to school, have the same conversation with our friends about how they are, go through classes following the norm -holding in our potential so we can fit what it's like to be "cool" then we have our co-curricular or we go straight home, we study or we watch tv and we constantly wish we had a better life without doing anything at all to change our routine. When the change is offered to us, we decline, happy to be in this routine even though we desperately want to escape. I notice this all the time.

There are infinite possibilities each day which should stagger the mind. The sheer number of experiences I COULD HAVE in a day? Is uncountable...breath taking.... And yet I'm sitting here refreshing my inbox and preparing my school bag for school tomorrow. We live trapped in our loops. We relive a few days over and over, and we envision only a handful of paths laid out ahead of us. We see the same things each day, we respond the same way, we think the same thoughts....every day it's the same, with only a slight variation on the last. Every moment smoothly follows the gentle curves of society's norms. We act like if we just get through today, tomorrow... Our dreams will come back to us.

The sad thing is, I can't even give the answers I so desperately want myself. I don't have all the answers to the questions I ask on here. I don't know everything yet; I wish to experience it. I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what each moment could become. But I do know one thing:
The solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sake of someday easing my fit into a mold. It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up.
My only advice I can give after ranting so much on this subject? Try moving out of your box... Bit by bit....start with something small and soon you could change your life forever for the better :)

And here's a clip from a tv show I used to watch but it's one of my favourite dances to watch because it is inspiring whether you enjoy dance or not :)
