I Medically Need Coffee
Will die without it.
Meditation is a great way to start the day.
It calms you.
It gives you a sense of peace.
It brings your mind to focus.
Unfortunately, I do NOT start my day this way.
My alarm blares. I doom scroll for a few minutes. Sigh. Roll out of bed hearing my body scream at me to stretch more, and I immediately go for a cup of coffee.
I waste no time getting the caffeine into my veins.
I need to feel the jitters.
I pour the coffee leftover from the previous day into a glass with ice, toss in a straw, and taste the bitterness of black coffee I love so much.
I proceed to make a new fresh pot that I will drink entirely too much of.
I rush through the typical morning routines. Brush teeth. Shave. Comb hair to not look like a hot mess. Rub lotion on face in hopes the advertised “anti-aging” works.
All of this happens with a cup of coffee in arms reach.
I get to my desk with my coffee in hand. Open computer. Plan to write. Play Solitaire instead.
By this time, the first cup of coffee has come and gone.
