January 2012
You suppose you are the trouble
but you are the cure.
You suppose that you are the lock on the door
but you are the key that opens it.
It is too bad that you want to be someone else,
You don’t see your own face, your own beauty.
Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.
So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.

“Hope
Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering ‘it will be happier’…”― Alfred Lord Tennyson
should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?
should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne?
for auld lang syne, my dear
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet
for auld lang syne
