Here’s Why You Need To Give Yourself a Break

It’s not what you might think

When our dear friend, Witchy, was living in the Transylvania Forest — before her life blew up — she was happy and carefree. But after her friends turned on her and relentlessly made fun of her, Witchy began to feel like there was something wrong with her.

To fill you in (in case you don’t know her story), after the “secret trauma” that forced her to become vegan, she had to stop using eye of newt, bat wings, dragon toes etc. in her spells. As she puts it, this made her spells “go wonky” and all the other witches laughed at her. They teased and tormented her mercilessly and her boyfriend, 712-year-old Vladimir the Vampire (not-so-affectionately known as “the Pinhead”) dumped her because he was embarrassed to be seen with her.

Poor Witchy. She was utterly humiliated and it broke her sweet heart that after centuries of friendship and bonding with her “witch family,” they would treat her this way.

It left her feeling defective, damaged, discouraged and disheartened.

“Not to mention some other ‘D’ words like distraught, devastated, dumbfounded and deeply disappointed,” says Witchy (she is reading over my shoulder — again).

What was she to do?
