I know that warm tea with honey and reading a book and going for walks and calling my mom.

but what about sitting alone at a bar, taking shots of whiskey with the bartender?

isn’t self love just doing what you know will serve your soul, regardless of popular opinion?

sometimes I need the wisdom found at the bottom of a shot glass

and to watch the slurring of a stranger’s words

don’t ask me why

because i don’t need to tell you.
