It gave her a feeling of her own power, to make something practical and beautiful just by using her own skill and creativity. It inspired her.

Things work out better when you're straight up.

And there's always a better time than right now and there always will be. But right now is what we've got.

Whether a person is physically in front of you or not, the love remains.
