Empire Comics Lab

For those who need to hear this (and I know a few):
I know you have hopes and dreams, some achievable, some maybe not. You have regrets of what was and of what might have been, the path not taken. Regrets of words spoken and unspoken. Lives touched and lives lost, reconnections no longer connected.

The past is the past. It can shape you but it does not have to define you. It does not have to limit who you are and what your dreams may be. Will there be challenges? Yes. Will there be struggles? Definitely. But it is how you face them that can change your world.

And there will be joy.

Live your best life, the best one you can.

Start today. You have a present. You have a future. Start today.

I'm not waiting for a new year to start to tell you that I hope things get better for you in whatever ways you need most. Some things we can change on our own, so make the most of what chances you get.

Be well.
