Coffee has always, always helped me in times of difficulties and I can’t fathom living my mundane life without it. I shall name my future offspring COFFEE or CAFFEINE. I mean, maybe. Haha. But that’s not the only reason.
Energizer. I am more productive with coffee. In fact, I am more enthusiastic, more positive, more cheerful when I get a mug full of coffee. I get better ideas to write; I am more creative; and I am more motivated to work for the whole day.
Anti-oxidant. That’s what researchers say. And I’ve witnessed people telling me you don’t look your age (why thank you very much, bless your wonderful heart!). Just praising myself a bit there, hopefully no one noticed.
Peacemaker. You don’t like your co-worker? Destroy the gap by offering coffee. You made misunderstanding with your Mom? Make her coffee. Pulling an all-nighter for a group project? Offer to buy coffee. Oh, I can’t count the number of times I’ve made friends by just talking about coffee.
Creativity. At times I would just sit down at the corner of Starbucks and think of what I’m going to do the whole day and I get to have lots of ideas in mind more than I can imagine when I’m not drinking one.
Go-to comfort. I don’t know how many times I’d stare blankly and imagine life; (things that were, things that are, and things that will happen next). Yeah I quoted Galadriel a bit. But I know somewhere out there will read this and say “I feel you”.
Cheers! Happy drinking! ☕️
