People are like little boxes, filled with beautiful things, ugly rotten slime, broken shiny pieces, sharp edges, snippets of songs and little lose screws that nobody knows what they go to, all tucked away in a maze of folded and crumple tissue paper.

There have been an odd series of events in my life that have dovetailed with each other quite nicely.
