Because to tell you the truth, the thing I'm most afraid of ... is time. I mean, I'm afraid of not having enough of it. Not enough time to understand people, how they really are, or to be understood myself. I'm afraid of the quick judgements or mistakes everybody makes. Those you can't fix. I guess I'm afraid of seeing snapshots, not movies. Of watching and not seeing. Of time passing through me, instead of me passing through time.

See me soar...
Sometimes I feel like if you just watch things, just sit still and let the world exist in front of you - sometimes I swear that just for a second time freezes and the world pauses in its tilt. Just for a second. And if you somehow find a way to live in that second, then you would live forever.

Not enough time to understand people, how they really are, or to be understood myself. I'm afraid of the quick judgements or mistakes everybody makes. Those you can't fix. I guess I'm afraid of seeing snapshots, not movies. Of watching and not seeing. Of time passing through me, instead of me passing through time.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are 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. Lets make new mistakes - 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.
