Eat cereal from a mixing bowl

Life doesn't always take us where we think we should (or want) to go. When you're little it is so easy to think "I'm going to be a (insert awesome career here) when I grow up" but how often do we become exactly what we imagine ourselves as children? As a child life is limitless. What child thinks of all the obstacles and roadblocks involved in becoming a fighter pilot? When you are a child you really can be anything. It isn't until we start growing up that we start placing limitations and restrictions on ourselves. Life happens quickly and one decision can take you from being a fighter pilot to being a history teacher or a marketing executive. As quickly as life moves, and as permanently as it can change, it is vital that we take time to actually live. That maybe for just an hour a week you remove any limitations from your life and do something you never considered doing before, even if it is something as inconsequential as eating your cereal in a mixing bowl with a serving spoon, or wearing red lipstick because you damn well please. And it is so very crucial that we take the time to look at the people in our lives and know what they do for us, whether it's an amazing sister that showers everyone around her with love, or a friend that is always always there to give you a ride or eat doughnuts with you and listen to you gush about a super cute firefighter you met, its just matters that you know them and see them for the role they play in your life. Not only that but that you can see what you are to them. Our connections to people are what make us who we are. Humans have inherent, instinctual behaviors, and we have learned, cultural behaviors. What we do and how we interact with others creates the different societies we live in. Be connected with someone, and live, at least every once in a while, without limitations. You'll feel better for it. We're social animals constantly craving and fearing interaction.
