Get into the game

Ok, get into the game. Stop taking vacations from yourself, take a vacation for yourself. The meds haven’t worked, don’t work, won’t work. Get over it. Get over yourself. Get on with your life. Dance with the gypsies, study the stars. Buy yourself a nice treat. You don’t have to spend a lot of money. Peruse the dollar store. Better yet, shop at the local thrift store. Dress up for Halloween. Go to the movies, one you want to see. Eat some popcorn with extra butter and brewers yeast. Take a walk and skip through the fallen leaves. Go ride a horse or a bike or a skateboard. Go to Mexico if the opportunity arises. Say yes to friends and no to takers. Stay away from doctors and shrinks, they will brainwash you and hang you out to dry. They don’t have the key. You do. Ride the wind. Snowboard. Clear off your drawing desk and put pencil to paper. Don’t say you are an artist and a writer, be an artist and a writer. Do the work. Create. Take a nap. Read a book. Love, laugh, avoid clichés, like stop to smell the roses. Be a rose. Take a hot bath. Drink ginger tea with honey. Go to meetings. Be true to yourself.
