Rearranging furniture, adding some candles, or making even small tweaks can really make the difference.
Our relationships, relationships between adults, how all those pieces fit together - that's the most complicated thing we all face.
The fact is, these are actors playing parts, and maybe it's not such a bad thing that people be reminded of that.

There's nothing quite as good as folding up into a book and shutting the world outside. If I pick the right one I can be beautiful, or fall in love, or live happily ever after. Maybe even all three.
