If Byron were to ask me to marry him right now, I would probably say yes. I'm not saying this marriage will be a success or a failure but in that fleeting moment, I would be happy and content, and see the goodness in the world that eluded me when I was in previous relationships; no one's opened up this door, and the newness that's cascading down from this experience becomes a thing that's less and less incredulous. I think we all need something positive to cling to, even if it is something that a person has conjured in their head. Isn't this what people preach about nowadays - stay positive, face the sun, turn away from the shadows? Success is relative, beauty is relative, and thus happiness is relative, too.
