Every few years, the brilliant author Neil Gaiman writes a New Year’s Wish and shares it on his journal. My favorite is still his first, written fifteen years ago and as beautiful and relevant now as it was then:
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.
Happy 2016, everyone. Let’s all surprise ourselves this year.
