“From now on, I'll connect the dots my own way”

Bill Watterson

Simplified Meaning:

When someone says they'll connect the dots their own way, they mean they want to make their own choices and figure things out by themselves. They don't want to just follow what others tell them to do or think. Imagine you are doing a connect-the-dots puzzle. Usually, you follow the numbers to see what the picture is. But in this case, the person wants to connect the dots in a different order to see what new picture comes out of it. For example, imagine a student who wants to learn how to draw. Instead of taking a traditional art class where they follow strict rules and techniques, they decide to experiment with different styles, watch YouTube tutorials, and learn by practicing what they enjoy most. This way, they create their own unique style of art. In everyday life, this could mean making decisions based on what feels right for you, even if it goes against what others expect or think is best. It’s about trusting your instincts and being independent. By doing this, you can end up discovering new and interesting paths that you might have missed if you just followed the way others think things should be done.
