‘Things conform by nature,
because math is a natural occurrence...’

Your mouth is a parabola, with the vertex of a smile being the bottom pout of your lips. A nose can be graphed as a sharp increase in the y axis, while the spherical, and seemingly natural perfection of one’s eyes is simply another variable. It’s easy to define the color by a number variable- we could easily pinpoint the exact tint of your irises between the #000000 of your pupils and the #ffffff of the whites. Plug the data into a computer and press enter. It’s so simple- we can digitally recreate you, redefine you, reprogram you. It’s not anything terribly extrodinary, and neither are you. A graph can explain any shape, any cruve, and slight ruffle of the wind or the trajectory of teardrops tracing down a cheek.

There are no random events, only random thoughts.

Face it. You’re just a number.

Really now, it's somewhat ridiculous that our school system thinks that by answering a handful of "yes" or "no" questions they can define us and tell us exactly what we should do with our lives after high school.

And they WONDER why so many kids skip Career and Life Management class. o.O
