And most of all, books. They were, in and of themselves, reasons to stay alive. Every book written is the product of a human mind in a particular state. Add all the books together and you get the end sum of humanity. Every time I read a great book I felt I was reading a kind of map, a treasure map, and the treasure I was being directed to was in actual fact myself.
Forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit in persistence in practice.
Into my life you wandered, when least expected and most welcome. Little did I know it then and am only realizing it now how much fuller and complete things feel with your presence. Even though far in distance never doubt you are close in my heart. Thank you for all your inspiration, my muse, my glowing candlelight in the darkness. My dearest wish is that I may inspire others as you have done me. For truly, we are all here to help and inspire, to love and be loved. Anything less is just surviving, not truly living. So once again I thank you, for being the being that you are.

I got a few messages today from people going through some tough times. This is just a reminder to you and me and everyone reading this that you’re going to get through it. I know it sounds like bullshit, but you’ll make it. I promise.
Always remember the words of Descartes: The reading of all good books is like conversion with the finest men of the past centuries.
I love that moment. When you’re on a long car ride, or listening to music, or reading. And you completely zone out. You forget your troubles, and everyone around you. You’re focused on that one thing, and that one thing only. You’re content, and everything seems peaceful.

This is Colors, a short comic written by @monsieurtoast and illustrated by myself, about the influence we have on others around us. I had sooooo much fun working on this and I owe it all to Toast for coming up with such a creative concept! Take care of your colors my guys ♥
I’ve been working on this with Lalou for a while now, and I’m happy to say it’s finally complete! I’ve mostly kept quiet about it here until it was finished, but, with any luck, this is just the first of many, many comics to come.
It was an interesting experience writing for a comic, trying to keep the art and the constraints of panels in mind, and also my first stab at it, but I’m pretty happy with how it all turned out. Lalou did an incredible job bringing everything to life!
I hope you all enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed working on it, if not more!
