Breaking Boxes by Betsy Pepine

*Gainesville Author*

Boxes are a part of our lives, following us wherever we venture, whether we acknowledge them or not. They provide structure, safety, and security and often help identify similarities between us. We live in boxes (houses), receive boxed gifts, and pack our belongings into boxes to move into a new "box." We use boxes to express things: "Think outside the box,"
" "She's boxed into a corner," or "Be sure to check all the boxes."

Some people base their identity on the box they put themselves in. Boxes can also be scary. By nature, they divide and separate. Unseen, metaphorical boxes of expectations of our families, religions, communities, employers, and others can evoke intense emotions and trap us.
