KALEB AND THE LEGO AIRPLANE
Once upon a time, there was a boy who built an airplane named
Chase Bell. Chase was a child who liked
to build big remote controlled Lego airplanes. Chase liked to fly his airplanes in his big
backyard. The big backyard had tall
trees. One day, Chase was sitting in front of the tree. He was hungry, so he
decided to shake the tree to see what would come out. All of a sudden, a curved
blue Lego came out of the tree.

DETROIT ARTIST VIBES from the WESTSIDE with LOVE {part I}
via EMERY JONES
Reality can be constricting.
Life is full of people who will tell you what is and how things should be,
limiting what can and could be.
Life is full of people who offer rules that shouldn't be broken and boxes
that should never be thought outside of...
Don't sweat it though, just remember life is what you make it.
Exercise your mind to think creatively.
Creative thinking transforms victims into survivors and underdogs
into heroes.
A creative mind understands that nothing is totally permanent leaving
everything subject to change.
Maintain an optimistic outlook towards the future and push for a better
tomorrow.
Remain fresh...
