Get out of the box! / Saia da caixa!

Everybody has a box, or two, three, 50, or God knows how many.
But we are going to talk about only one of the boxes (I think).
The box they like to put us in.



Recently I was thinking about the fact that people don't like the way we are, and they are constantly trying to mold us. 
And I got to a conclusion, that they put us in a box. They think of us, as water.
Water doesn't have a form. If you put an amount of water on glass, it will get the glass form, in a bottle, the bottle form, in container, the container form etc.
So, they think of us, as a water, and they love, really love to put us in the box.
The box that they have chosen.

So, they choose a box, with shape, color, smell they want, and then, they just pick us up, and put us inside this box. We don't notice at first. Actually, for some people, they never see it, they stay their whole life inside the box, and others, others take a really long time to realize that they have been put inside a box. But the thing is, when we realize this, and we try to get out, we are officially declaring war.
I'm serious. You are declaring war when you decide to get out of the box. The people who put you in there are not gonna like it. Believe me.

I'm not saying that you should stay in the box. For God's sake NO!
You definitely should try to get out. You must. For yourself, not for me, or anyone else.
Because if you try to get out because of someone else, you're just leaving someone's box, and getting in another person's box. So, do it for yourself.

You might be wondering, "how do I know that I'm inside someone's box?"
That's kinda easy, or not.
Think about what you wanna do, where you wanna go, who you want to be.
After that, ask yourself, "am I doing what I wanna do? Am I going where I wanna go? Am I the person I want to be?
If the answer is no, you now gotta ask yourself, "WHY?"
If the answer is "because of someone..."
Then you've got your answer, you are inside someone's box.

But you gotta be careful. That last question is very trick.
We tend to always blame someone, but ourselves.
You must think about that for as long as needed.
That can and will decide your future, so, think, think, and think.
If something is your fault, accept, forget, and promise to at least try to never do that again, and move on. Be constantly blaming yourself for something that is already in the past is not healthy and won't change anything.
If you find something that is somebody's else fault, try to forgive 'em and move on. If that happened because you let them, like, because you let yourself be put inside a box... just be careful, and do not allow yourself to be put in a box again.

People like to mold you.
People mold you but simply telling you to buy something that is important to them, but not for you.
And just because that is good for them, they think you should buy it to.
Not like a advice, but like, "listen to me, you don't know what you're talking about, I know. Buy this one, because I love it, and for me this is very useful, so buy it. I don't care that this isn't useful for you..."

To get out of the box, requires a lot of strength.
It's not going to be easy. Like I said above, you're declaring war.
The people who have put you inside a box, they don't want you to leave it. So, you trying to leave it, is war.

Here is a funny fact about that, and very irritating too.
If you know you're inside a box, and don't try to get out, people aren't gonna like you either.
Some people need to make up their minds.
They either want you inside the box, or they want you out.
But no! If you are in, they want you to leave. If you are trying to get out, they want you locked up inside!

GET OUT OF THE BOX!
