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.
