Smoking out Depression

            Aging is a natural part of life but not everyone ages gracefully. This aging lady who is trying to maintain her youth by her fine clothes, jewellery and smoking is doing quite the opposite by her apparent addiction to cigarettes. Knowing that the jewellery she wears has been passed down from generation to generation and that one day she will have to give up a piece or two of it too. Having to let go of her prise possessions and give them to who? Who will they be passed down to? Why would she want to let herself trust someone she doesn’t even know? But then again her ancestors probably said the same thing; meaning her. Every morning getting up and applying the same amount of lipstick and a new color of eye shadow. Just knowing that she would soon be heading out to go release all of the evil spirits inside of her body. Making her feel like a new person every day. All the creases beside her eyes, between her eyebrows and around her lips make her realize she is not young anymore and that soon after many of these years of freeing these vile essences, she will soon not have to do that anymore.
