We live in a stressful world, and daily life can sometimes make us feel tired, stressed, or depressed. Some people go to the doctor for help, others try alternative therapies, but the place to find a cure could be somewhere completely different: in the kitchen.

Generally, it is considered bad luck to wish someone “good luck” in a theater. Before a performance, it is traditional for the cast to get together and prevent bad luck by wishing each other bad luck. English actors used to say to each other “I hope you break a leg,” and even today actors and musicians often say "break a leg” to each other instead of “good luck" before they go on stage.

The family is a microcosm of society. It’s where your spirit and beliefs are first tested. My mother and father wanted only the best for me and my sister, but had very rigid ideas of what that “best” should be. For me to become a lawyer or even an engineer would have satisfied them, but a writer? Never. I was a determined and rebellious kid, though, and having failed to change my mind by conventional methods, they looked for more dramatic and extreme ones. In a sense, though, I thank them for that. I wouldn’t have gotten where I am without fighting to live the life I wanted for myself. I long since forgave them. We all make mistakes, parents included.

However, the venture came to an abrupt end when one of the mothers found out about it and deemed it "inappropriate." Arno had to shut down immediately.
