This is not a concept but the way I’m working to live. GOTB originiated from the reality that I needed to adopt a freer state of mind simply to maintain my sanity. I needed to open up and let the things I kept dormant see outside. Overall, gettin’ out the box has a lot to do with me abandoning my fears of rejection and being upfront about my thoughts. Naturally I am a shy person. I’m an attentive observer that is constantly making mental notes. I have never been one to speak up among a group of unfamiliar people, often. However, on paper my passion contradicts my exterior presence. I’m strong about my beliefs and I am not afraid to write about what feels right. After recent events had me spiralling out of control I decided it was time to unleash my ink and invite you along for the ride.

This leads to me to my second reason for adopting this mind frame. As a light skinned, curly haired, green eyed female many things are wrongly expected and unexpected of me. I’ve often been in situations where I was put in a box and denied access to a box cutter. Fortunately I’ve never felt comfortable in tight spaces so every line written is an attempt to get out and an attempt to pull you out too.

I don’t presume anyone will care a whole lot about what I have to say and it’s very likely my opinions will be shot down. I’m cool with that, but be Crystal Clear, if you have something to type, type it. I’m not opposed to reading you’re opinion, in fact I encourage it. Just be prepared to hear me respond.

So overall, I’m elated. Watch me go.

Thank you’s CD insert style…

1st and foremost, God. I love you man!…lol joking. Me and God been talking for years now so this is not new to him.

2nd: Shannon Boodram for lighting that fire under my arsenal. This lady is a shit disturber and with the guns to back it up. Catch her in a photoshoot-out and you might get got. She inspired my first version of this for those of you who don’t already know.

3rd: Erich ‘Heinz’ Rigonan. Graphic designer extraordinaire and a pretty cool dude too.

4th: William Nguyen and Bobby Redef. Will suggested I should brand myself and he was right. Bobby just knows his shit and helped the seams come together. Nice guys finish first. See you at the top!

5th: This one is CN Tower (huge). EVERY PERSON THAT INSPIRES ME TO WRITE RIGHT NOW!! I’ve called your name before and I love you till death do us part. You’re my family and my best friend.
