Ailments aside...

I think it is natural, as you age, to have the number of people you trust, decrease. Right along with the number of friends that one keeps close.
And, there are a bazillion weeks worth of pinterest quotes that tell you to set something/someone free if it is not bettering you (or something like that),blah, blah, blah...right?  

All this self empowerment bullshit, all this "I am stronger than my critics" mumbo jumbo, is it real? Does one feel better after shutting the doors to the so-called negativity and/or criticism? Is it really encouraging us to be cold, emotionless, and apathetic? Don't get me wrong, I am not an advocate for abuse of any sort... or tolerating bullshit.
However, are we skipping that moment where we should be looking at ourselves in the mirror and asking, "Do I like what I see?" Or maybe, just maybe... swallowing our pride and saying,  "maybe it is me, not them." 
Cutting ties just seems to be the easy and unemotional choice these days. 


Winter Ailment Update.

Brandy dose will be considerably more than two tablespoons.

Tonight, I substitute Brandy for my cough syrup.
