You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)

I got a gift,
It was a new start.
A clean slate,
That cleansed my heart.
It wasn't in the best paper,
But it was filled with love.
The gift was what I needed,
Sent from the Saviour above.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

Too many people grow up. That&#039;s the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don&#039;t remember what it&#039;s like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won&#039;t do that.
