Cages

White picket fence surrounds the perfect house keeping the perfect life inside and intruders out. White collar job surrounds you every day keeping the money coming in and play time out. White crisp clothes surround your body and soul keeping the correct appearance on the outside. White French doors surround the bedroom keeping the perfect wife in her perfect place. Cages come in different shapes and sizes keeping you locked away in something not you. Be bold, strike out. Ignore the cages, allow people in to the house, go home from work, no overtime. Be something you want to be. Not something you’re told to be.
