Fearless
Calvin sure got it right.
There are certain things that WE KNOW will end up as indistinguishable stumps. We all know that it's inevitable. These shiny, pointy crayons will become too dirty and out-of-use after a certain time. But that doesn't mean that we guard them with our lives, protecting the concept of near-perfection and safety that we, as humans, are so accustomed to. Because even though, one day, the crayons we use become dulled up and crappy, it will be refreshing and fulfilling to know that we used them to gleefully color the drawings that fill us up. The ugly mounded pieces of wax will leave their mark through the colorful masterpieces they create.
Ted Mosby said, "Here's the thing about mistakes. Sometimes, even though you know it's a mistake, you still have to make it." I'm all about mistakes. I've made a bunch of them. Even went down the slide again a couple times more with a few of them. And I'm not going to stop making mistakes. But that's okay, I'd gladly take them all. ;p

I can't wait for this week to end. I'm finally going to do all the things that I said I would during the start of the summer. Woo!
