A profound question: is it better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, or would Owen be happier living in a world where he wasn't forever haunted by dreams of this day, the day he got to play a Martin Custom Shop Double-Neck 6/12-String Acoustic Guitar?

If I had to guess -- and I don't, for I am Owen -- I'd say Owen wouldn't trade this day for anything, save the kind of job that would actually afford him one of these beauties. Yes, that is something Owen would do. Owen would also write about himself in the third person, apparently.
