&quot;We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are dull, some are pretty, some have weird names, and all are different colors... but they all have to learn to live in the same box.&quot; <br /> ~Anonymous

As the hands move across the clock, I sit
and wonder to myself “What happens next?”
While alone in my room, I get a text.
“Wanna go out?” it reads. And this is it,
the turning point of my day. No more sit-
ting and wondering about life. What’s next
is an adventure, a distraction fit
to save me from the curse of wondering.
So to the benign sender, I reply
“OMG I’d love to!” It was during
that reply, that I remembered the eyes.
The deep eyes that told me that wondering
is the catalyst to discoveries.

&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;
