"People are like mystery boxes. They can be all shapes and sizes, tall or short, thin or long. Brown or white, bold or plain.
But the most interesting part about them is the inside. Inside is where the mystery is held. You want to know what's inside because it's a mystery, and so you try everything in your power to unlock the box if even for a second. And sometimes they hand you something from inside and you want to know more about what they contain. You want to see something else, another trinket, another secret.
Some people walk around with their boxes wide open, others keep theirs tightly locked up with fifteen locks with fifteen different keys. It all just depends on the person. I simply want to know what's inside their box. What makes them unique from all the other boxes? They aren't considered mystery boxes for nothing. They've got stories written inside and items to show off, along with an assortment of other things. Why do they keep their box shut? Why is their box all banged up? Why do I hear things coming from inside the box? Everyone has a story, some more intricate than others. But still, everyone is a mystery box holding something inside. I just want to know the mystery."
