They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. Robert Laurence Binyon

A Room of One's Own stu·di·o /ˈst(y)o͞odēˌō/ Noun: A room where an artist, photographer, sculptor, etc., works. A place where performers, esp. dancers, practice and exercise. My studio can be a crazy, chaotic place, but it's my favourite place to be. A place I can escape, explore and create in. There is nothing better than a fresh cup of coffee, a mix tape (old school I know) and a room of one's own. stu·di·ous /ˈst(y)o͞odēəs/ Adjective: Spending a lot of time studying or reading. Done deliberately or with a purpose in mind.
