One measuring cup. 

 

2 teaspoons of kisses: 

 

1 for whom you will spend the rest of your days,

 

1 for whom you consider your biggest mistake. 

 

(There will be more in between, but these are the only ones that will ever matter.) 

 

A single pinch of love: 

 

A little bit goes a long way, if used correctly. 

 

2 oz. of either water, wine, or both.

 

This depends on how bland or grand you wish your life to be.

 

1 tablespoon of poison: 

 

Everyone has one, everyone needs one, 

 

It will strengthen your immune system, and it is never enough to kill you. 

 

1 cup of alphabet soup: 

 

These are your words,

 

 your only just defenses in life.

 

Mix carefully.

 

1 pinch of faith. 

 

1 pound of doubt. 

 

1 teaspoon of laughter. 

 

Stir so it is completely mixed in with all ingredients.

 

0 parts friendship: 

 

You must do this on your own.

 

1 cup of comedy.

 

1 cup of tragedy. 

 

2 cups of perspective.
