You're sad-looking," she said. "My grandson used to be such a happy boy. He used to write me stories. I remember the first story he ever wrote me, 'Once upon a time, there was a boy.' And that became 'Once upon a time there was a boy who wanted to fly.' And they kept getting better and better over time. I never found out if the boy got to fly."
I gave her a small smile. If only she knew the boy's wings had been clipped.
To Grandma:
Once upon a time,
there was a boy who flew.
From this day on, I refuse to let anyone bring me to a point where I can't take a horrible situation and spin it into something beneficial. I will never let anyone make me feel anything I don't want to feel again or rob me of the passions that make me who I am.
Chris ColferLike having a great idea, life comes at you fast. It hits you and tries to escape and be expressed in any way possible. In a way, it's a lot like...lightning.
Chris ColferI don't know much,
But when push comes to shove,
I definitely don't believe,
There's such a thing as wrong love.
...because a life without meaning, without drive or focus, without dreams or goals, isn't a life worth living.
Chris ColferI always laugh at the term 'Cinderella story', because, if you ask me, it doesn't matter what life you're living, life never has a solution. No matter how hard the struggles are that you leave behind, new struggles always take their place.

Every driven person comes from a mountain of pain they wish to keep hidden.
Chris ColferI was reading that lightning is a negative charge that comes from the friction that clouds carry. And since opposites attract, I would like to think that he was so positive the moment that he died, so happy, he pulled that bolt right out of the sky. I don’t know if that’s possible, but that’s what I believe.
Chris ColferHigh School. Society’s bright idea to put all their aggressive, naive youth into one environment to torment and emotionally scar each other for life.
