"if only you'd look"

new years are great. people feel hopeful, ready to ditch all the bad and embrace all the good. but sometimes i wonder why this feeling only comes around once a year, as we collectively reflect on the chunk of time passed together, all while sharing drinks, food, in some kind of party.

you don’t have to wait a whole year to do that. celebrate today. reflect today. yell HAPPY NEW DAY at 12am every night and clink your glasses loudly!

if only you’d look, if only you’d look, the magic is everywhere. it’s hidden in the pizza, in a text that could pass as an essay, a call that turned out alright after all, a hot cup of coffee, a surviving house plant — anywhere and everywhere, the magic is there.

so here’s Luna with some magic in her hands, reminding you to remember: you don’t have to wait. you just need to look.

happy new year and happy new day, everyone. i’m so glad you’re alive. (this was drawn for the first day of 2022)
