For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.

Ah, the sacrifices I make for my art… No special lighting or retouching, just a snap from my smart phone.
