Coffee and I have had a rough past. I never really liked it. Neither I like the taste nor the smell of it. However, my brain and cells do not function well without coffee. Sounds toxic? Well, I manage to find it intriguing to let that work for me.

“Truth tastes bitter”, and so does coffee. For many people, coffee might just be a form of caffeine to kick start their day or to have it as an energy booster. However, for me, coffee is an emotion and trust me, I am not exaggerating when I say that. Have you ever realized that when reality hits you, you become more conscious? Coffee does the same to me, it helps me maintain my sanity when life gets wavy. Let’s get a little more personal here and talk about my friend circle. Not to mention their names, but one of them is coffee. I know it sounds weird, but it is what it is, right? Do you remember the time you had coffee? I do! Of course! They say,” the first impression is the last impression” which I don’t believe in, to be honest.  I remember young me who was so naïve and say stupid to have a scoop full of coffee believing that It is similar to Horlicks. Guess the chances for me to try that again ever in my life? Well, then, life happened and today, I find myself caffeinated every day. Every writing I have written sitting on the corner of the café has let me be the person I am today. I know that is a bold statement and I don’t know if I should be giving something else so much power to have over me and control me, but I can’t help it. Okay? Okay.

There are times when I get all shivery and insomniac due to high consumption of coffee. However, I have realized that there is a thin line between coffee to harm me and keep me alive, finding balance is quite an off road journey. The dark color of it makes my life colorful. They say that loving is not enough, you are to like it for the consistency and for it to last forever. So, I am not sure when this is ending but I am pretty sure, it is not going to happen anytime soon. I just hope I get progressive and start loving it with all of me. “Where there is a will, there is a way”, even though the bond is now way better, I know I will find some way to build a healthier bond. You don’t walk out; you work out on the things that you want to be a part of your life.
