Color Boxes


"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back.
I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!".

It´s easier to see things in a black or white pattern. And I believe all of us do it sometimes, specially if we don´t want to bother too much. But yes, there´s always grey, and it´s not because many don´t see it that it doesn´t exist. Most of things in life are in that grey area. They are not right, nor wrong, they are just grey. Many will say there are good persons and bad persons, but some will question: what about the others?
