So many people in life are just like the little spider I saw today. Lack of originality or being true to yourself will end you up in a mess just as the spider. He was caught in one track, a one road direction. This happens with so many people when influenced by others. You put blinders on and look broad minded at life; leaving no room for questioning, or individuality. There are walls set that you can not make it over when you just fit into the crowd, and your mentality is no longer yours, but influenced but other people. To prevent this from happening, all it does is take that one person to push someone out of that maze, just as the spider was whooshed out with the blow. Instead of living life for just yourself, help other people that may be caught in that maze. I was just one of those people in my own type of maze, or obstacle in life, and it took someone so special to me to lift me up and dust me off once again. My eyes are open now, and I've learned so much from how someone else interprets my life. She helped me live life again, and I owe the world to her for the countless acts of love she has shown me. Be that individual that encourages others, and make a difference in people's lives.

The Spider and His Maze
As I sat outside on my grass due to the perfectly blowing breeze there was outside and the illness that had grown from cleaning all day, I pulled out my laptop and googled around. After about twenty minutes or so I saw a little speck crawling onto my keys. It was a black shiny spider and instead of instantly freaking out and shooing it off of my laptop, I observed this lesson-to-be while leaving this tiny morsel alone. ( It wasn't everyday a spider would come out of nowhere, and I felt as though I should give this one a chance rather than squishing it. ) Quickly it worked it's way through the board, trying to find his way out with only the direction of the sides of the keys. ( They would appear as walls to it.) Like a maze the spider tried to find his way out by only following the guidance that was right in front of it. I finally gave a light blow, and the spider flew into the air, landing right back on the ground, but instead now in a different place than where he started.
