Freewrite Passage

Freewriting is a tool used to help get your creative juices flowing. Sometimes, however, you might put something down that you really do like. Here is one such thing.
"People say to think outside of the box, but what if you have no box? Is a box something you are born with, or do the experiences that shape our lives wall us into a box that stops our creativity from leaving our body and being shown to the world? Perhaps a box is your life and to be out of your box is to die. Maybe the creative thinkers we see are actually ghosts that have come back to show us the way to open our minds."
This is just one small part of one of my freewrites, but I liked the way it sounded and thought it was worthy of being shown to people. That's the thing, I didn't write it and say "O man I hope people like this." No, I just wrote what came to mind and didn't really think about it. When I looked back on it I thought that maybe people would like it. Sometimes the things you think about the least while doing reveal the most about who you are.
