Blood Sex and Booze

Dear Matty,

I see you everyday.. Every time that I’ve seen you lately, you’ve been haggard, unshaven, and unhappy. Every time you look at me, you cringe and frown. I see you stand on the scale, and cry.

However something has changed recently.
This morning when I saw you, you looked well rested, and had a grin on your face. Even your bed head wasn’t a horrible mop, as it usually is. When you got out of the shower, you ignored the scale, and blew out your hair with your round brush. I haven’t seen you do that in months! Especially not before work!

I have to give it to you, Kid. You are really improving. Your face has color to it now. Your eyes have that sparkle that they used to. Your hair has turned back into its’ lovely mane, instead of that nasty knotted mess it once was. Every so often I see your, now colorful lips, crack a smile.

I don’t know what you’ve been doing lately, but I think it’s been good for you.
I haven’t heard you cry or do a line, in some time!

Keep you head up, Kiddo.

Sometimes to see you’re biggest fear, you have to look in the mirror.
Matty B.
