on no boys (or booze)
I won't mistake you for problems with me.- Tegan and Sara (I Won't be Left)

I gave up booze, and boys.
I say, emphasizing the statement with a swig of bottled Fiji water.
You look at me skeptically.
Boys?
And booze,
I add.
So what instead?
You have a smile playing on your face.
Water,
I say.
And running.
Time to stop blaming you,
time to start changing me.
