Dearest Coffee,
Reminiscing how we first met always gets me emotional. We’ve been together now for 17 years. Our relationship arose when I was just a 5 year old innocent girl . I can still vividly recall the morning that we met. My mom ordered that I could only have one miniscule drop of you to make my glass of milk more tolerable. I was a petite little girl who really should have been drinking milk since it is vital for strong bones. But what child actually cares about drinking milk for proper bone development? After a whole bunch of beseeching, I managed to get a whopping two drops of you that day. Farewell to the days of drinking plain, bland milk. I still strongly believe you are the reason why I loved school so much.
Thank you for continuously making a worthwhile contribution to my academic career. Just two simple sips of you provides me with the rush of energy that I need to tackle my daily agenda. An extensive seven page paper due in two days? Not a problem at all because I have you always spurting out the wisest of thoughts. An exam covering 16 chapters and I know absolutely nothing? Piece of cake because your existence gives me the strength to efficiently take in and recall information.
The minute I put my empty cup down, I am able to proudly hold my head up high with confidence towards the world. Going to work immediately becomes more endurable. With all the negative people that exist in the world today, I don’t know how I would cope without you. You give me the courage to ignore rude, pessimistic people and instead be an amiable person.
Over the years, it is safe to say that I have developed an addiction to you. But I would say it is a healthy addiction. After all, it is not like I am hooked on a detrimental, life threatening substance. However, on the very rare days that I do not consume you, I am faced with misery. Horrendous headaches and zilch energy. Who wants to live like that? With my demanding daily schedule in college, I can’t afford to not have you. I’m sure a majority of college students would concur with me.
When your energy diminishes at night time, I look forward to being able to wake up the next day and do it all again. I absolutely adore your heartwarming, cheerful presence. Thanks to you I can tolerate all of the twists and turns that this crazy thing called life brings along. As long as I have you by my side, I will always enjoy this rollercoaster ride. So coffee, I sincerely thank you for never letting me down. You have saved me so many times and I honestly can’t imagine life without you.
With love,
Andrea
