my teacher told me

Once upon a time, my teacher took me aside and told me that life was not a book you can learn behind your desk, life was a jungle waiting to be explored.
He told me, go on, fly away, explore, learn how to live.. For what makes a person, is his experience in life and his knowledge.. what will your art speak of? the common life of a human, or your typical family issues?

Convinced, i packed my things and went on an exploration trip in the most uncommon places you'll ever think of looking for me in.. i roamed and roamed.. and when i got back to my teacher, filled with pride, i awaited him to speak..
He took me aside, and he told me; you can't abuse life like that.. take it slow and step by step.. take this book, and sit behind your desk..
