New Year!

I could make a giddy post about the passed year like last time, but to be honest, I'm just glad I can finally step into the new one. I'm washing away all the crusted blood of wounded thoughts, medical misfortunes, lurking shadows of the future and ill omens. When the clock strikes midnight I shall lay them all to sleep, under the dust of the past where they so very firmly belong, and happily welcome the first steps of the new year!

I may have had my share of the darker tides this year, but I can honestly say that this year has also been immensely valuable to me. I have never grown so much as a human being, I've felt the peace of something you could call enlightenment and known how deep love can extend its roots. I've made new friends and laughed like hell, so as always, good things exceed the bad ones. And above all I've learned more about how you can turn your tears into gold.

But now I'll raise my glass and I wish you all a better new year of 2013! May your fondest dreams come true. :)

And if I must make a proper toast, I'll just borrow one from the Sandman!

“To absent friends, lost loves, 

old gods, and the season of mists; 

and may each and every one of us 

always give the devil his due.”
