“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.” –  Neil Gaiman

    This is a wonderful quote and I particularly love he part that says to kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful because I do, every day and it’s a nice reminder. When you’re with someone every day you forget how amazing they are, they tend to become “normal” and all their unique traits seem to go in the background somewhere. Beautiful quote to start what will be an awesome year! I definitely plan to surprise myself this 2015! Have a great one Rudri! -iva

    Happy New Year! Nice quote. It has been a long time, but I am back to blogging now that school has ended. Nice to see you, again.
