Adventures With My Tea Muse - Goth Midlife Crisis
(Tea Muse portrait by Brittany Lewis)
Tea Muse: (reading the latest issue of Imaginary People Magazine) Did you know that almost every famous person has an imaginary friend? Wow!
Me: . . . . .
Tea Muse: (glancing over the top of the magazine) Hey, you okay? What's up?
Me: (sighing) I'm getting old.
Tea Muse: Yeah and?
Me: I remember when I used to go to the Goth clubs, dance for hours, and pass out with a black lipstick smile. Or, when I used to play a sneering Vemtrue in Vampire the Masquerade. Or, when I collected all of the Goth magazines. Or when I -
Tea Muse: (holding up a hand to shut me up) I get it, I get it!
Me: It's easy for you! You're immortal AND imaginary! You can do whatever you want whenever you want! Me? I went into Crate & Barrel the other day . . . and I liked it. ARGH!
Tea Muse: (giggling) Oh. My. God. Are you going through a (whispering) Goth Midlife Crisis?
Me: THAT'S IT! (looking around) Is that a thing?
Tea Muse: Sure, silly! It's also called becoming an Elder Goth. That point in your black-hearted life when you realize that you can do and be whatever you want to be! Are you still breathing?
Me: (thumping my chest) Last time I checked, yeah.
Tea Muse: And. . . .what's stopping you from still enjoying your life the way YOU want to???
Me: Nothing!
Tea Muse: Let's have our own Goth Night here in the house! Get dressed, I'll get the CDs, and let's Clear the Cobwebs in the Attic (it's really a Goth dance move - look it up!)
Me: Yippee!
Tea Muse: Um, you can't say yippee.
