Read banned books.Read books that make you cry.Read books written by friends.Read books you don’t quite understand yet.Read books of ancient magic that transform you into a dark being of the cosmos, capable of such wonderful & terrible things.

Don’t be afraid of getting old.Let it liberate you.Let your hair and talons grow long & wild.Let your grumpy wisdom flow like a murky river.Let the world tremble before your slowly shambling form, wrapped in moss, fog, and memories.
