I study criminology, so there are things I'm used to hearing on a daily basis. But to the people outside this niche? It sounds like we're either high on drugs or about to be institutionalised.

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 I have...
