Rituals For Change

Synopsis:
We who are changing We who invite trouble Your eyebrows renew themselves every 64 days. Each cell in your body regenerates every 7 years. Your whole life has been a series of events that have brought you to this place at this exact moment in time. It could be a test result, a phone call, a bus turning left that you just didn't see; a poorly timed joke or a chance encounter on a train station. Every single day something changes. For better or for worse? We who leave this place different From when we arrived
