and up.

Nico's Narrator:

Gasp for breath. Not drowned. Lungs still filled with the muddied 2011 water. Cough it up. Shake it off.

Last year, you didn't prove your worth. Your friends did that. Your friends, who threw you lifelines reaching out to you in YouTube comments, tweets, blog comments, emails, IMs, text messages, phone calls. Even in your self-imposed isolation, your friends never faltered and continued to float around you. This, you realize, is what makes them your friends. And this, you realize, means you are nothing without them.

Life has dark times. But your friends will always be a light.

This year, you will not prove your worth.

You will remind your friends of theirs.

    Big hugs, and (as stage people in Sweden say): big lucky kick in the ass (sic!) for the new year.

    If a year is defined by a group of amazing friends, I think you are doing all right.

    Also, congrats on your bootleg nomination. It is well deserved, kiddo.

    You posted Stars and I came running. I'm sorry that 2011 didn't turn out the way you wanted, but you can steer 2012 in the other direction. And your friends will be there to help you along the way. 

    I'm probably moving to LA in February or early March. We should kick it.

    As a comrade in arms in terms of difficult 2011s, here's to a much changed 2012. And that song is amazing. I had never heard it before.

    This was intriguing! I am sorry 2011 wasn't the best, but I have a feeling this year is going to bring beautiful things for you. <3 Followed, by the way. :)
