Here’s Why Waiting For Apologies Will Make You Miserable

How to be happy without them

Illustration by Witchy

Yesterday afternoon, I dropped in on Witchy at her adorable cottage in the woods.

“Would you like to go for a walk?” I asked on entering her tiny kitchen.

“I guess so.”

Usually exuberant and bubbling over with enthusiasm, her half-hearted reply and droopy demeanour meant something was wrong.

“What’s the matter, Witchy? You seem sad.”

“Well, I’m not exactly sad. Just…not happy.”

“Did you and Enchantra have a little disagreement?” Witchy didn’t always take too kindly to her wise cauldron’s advice. At least, not until she could set her stubbornness aside and see that Enchantra was right. Again.

“No. She’s out gathering mushrooms and herbs and other things so she can make our dinner. You can stay if you want. It’s safe because she’s cooking it, and there’s always extra. Well, unless I cook. Then there’s a burnt pile of inedibleness. I wish my magic still worked.”

“I know you do, Witchy. But I thought you said you were getting better at learning how to cook without it.”
