Hmm… you know what? The next time I’m feeling sad I’ll just set something on fire and let the flames burn away the pain.
(only at a special fire place of course) 😉

Very true. There’s just something special about sitting around a bonfire, chatting and watching the flames dance with the sparks and glowing embers.
