Boxers and Scotch

This next part is going to suck. Whether it's reading these words, filling the day, or ending a long-term relationship; this next step always sucks. You'll want to stop, so you might need help.

But as you're reading these words, it's become apparent to me you may not have a good support system in place. Parents gone? Friends sided with your partner? It doesn't matter. What I'm here to say is that you need something instead of someone. A little, tiny ounce of self-destructive behavior may help ease things.

For me, it's McCallen's Scotch. One ice cube dropped in a double shot, coupled with a comfortable pair of worn down, purple boxers. Keep it simple.

Today I will sit on the couch, sip my drink, and try not to let that cold-ass glass rest on my skin. Today I'm going to try to drink the scotch without coughing. Today I'm going to get to the bottom of this glass.

I may not feel like I deserve this moment, but I'm going to let it happen anyway.
