Boredom struck me so I sat.
The plush materials of my polka-dotted pj's were compressed by the pink chair's plastic.
I opened my binder and clicked the pen.
I thought to myself, like I do before writing anything, It'll be fantastic.
So I pondered, biting the end of the pen.
How do I want it to sound, what do I want it to say?
But I'm not in a writing mood.
So I close it up and push it far, far away.

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.
