i have not booped half of you as well as i would have liked, and i have booped half of you half as well as you deserve.

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

The mythologizing some adults do about childhood and how it's this perfect and innocent time bothered me as a kid and continues to bother me now because tbh I believe that once we gain consiousness we are building on ourselves. We don't loose anything. You at 5 years old and you now are the same person. You were human then and still are now. You didn't change so much as the world changed around you. As you grow up, you're taken more seriously, given more independence and more work, but most importantly to this, you're told, sometimes indirectly, that you're "too old" to be experiencing and enjoying things, which is a total myth.

You can still create carefree nostalgia for your future self. Go on a bike ride. Put silly posters in your room. Climb on an empty playground. "Too old" "too mature" are lies.

You never changed, the world around you did. Don't be a coward. If you want childlike joy then literally make it. The grass is still as green as it was on the first day of 3rd grade. It's out there. It exists. I promise.
