"So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn’t have you by the throat."
As I was sitting at the table with the glass of vodka in front of me, I noticed a particular glimmer in the glass. One most people don't see, or refuse to acknowledge because it's too painful.
It's the glimmer of the mirror.
It's that painful, painful mirror that you can see every time you reach for the glass and take it to your mouth. That's why some people close their eyes when they take a sip. They are scared of that mirror.
That mirror sees everything, knows all your dark secrets and is ready to tell you things your subconsciousness has been trying to tell you, but you shut it up. You can't make the mirror shut up, you can't manipulate it. It's the purest, truest of all mirrors. And that's the beauty of it, of just sitting down with a drink in front of you, without anyone to take lip from.
Just sitting there, getting to know yourself, with all your darkest, deepest secrets that you do not dare even speak of. The world will go round, the people around you will change, but that glass, that mirror, they are always there for you. It doesn't matter if you drink vodka, wine, whiskey, Martini, a shot of something, that mirror is the magical mirror of alcohol and it's always there.
You just have to have the guts to look at it and like what you see.
"Pour whiskey, brandy, vodka, come and live this night with me... as if the world wasn't ending..."
Intoxicated, getting to know herself, sleepless,
