When I was little, I would always imagine that the middle line on the road was like a brick wall that you couldn't get close to because you'd hurt your car. Obviously that's not the case or we'd all have pretty banged up cars. We might also be broke from trying to fix the damages.
Now, this may sound bad, but I don't see a big deal with always staying inside of the lines. There are times when it's good to be on the other side. It's like coloring...pictures may look good when they're all nice and neat, but they really have some character to them when there are a few stay streaks of green from the grass streaking into the all too blue sky.

Sometimes the phrase "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" is true. Is it always better on the other side of the line though? You'll never know unless you try it. When I color in a coloring book, I sometimes use all different colors than what you would think something is normally colored. It makes the picture more interesting and it stands out more. I enjoy looking at art projects that are done by children. It's always refreshing to see how they construct things and draw the objects of the world. They all have a different take on how they think everything should look. Our perspectives all change when we see how the world really is. We start changing to think of things that will only be realistically possible. Then we start to color our lives inside of the lines that everyone else draws for us.
Maybe it's a little bit of rule breaking, but how is life fun if you're following suit with everyone else and not dipping your feet in the warmer water that is less crowded to get a taste of something different?
