This month I made a promise to purge myself from the grime that surrounds my soul.
It was kind of a shame how it took me this much time before I even began to notice and to realize that I was already ten-feet deep into the poison which, for all these years, I have clung into and suckled upon like a starving infant.
As a symbol of this newfound pact, I am going to shower myself with green tea for the first 21 days of December. I’m on my 16th day now, and struggling with consistency. I know it might sound odd the way I gather things and create unnecessary connections between them (like my inner thoughts and herbal drinks) but this is just me and this is how I function. I need a certain kind of a myth, a symbol to fasten myself onto, otherwise all of my attempts will fizzle into thin air just as easily as a blink of an eye.
I am never blessed with optimism, having been reared in the womb of melancholia. But this time—at least for this time, I am going to tell myself to look at the brighter side of things and to take this life one steady cup at a time.
Wow! That would be a good new year’s resolution for 2017. Btw, what is name of that green tea? Are you adding a bit of flavor to it when you’re drinking a cup?

Hi there! This one is from Lipton, but I much prefer the ones from Tetley and Twinings. I am not too fond of adding flavor to my tea.

green tea is perhaps the healthiest drink on earth. made from the same tea plant (scientific name Camellia Sinensis) as other normal tea types.
