Coffee is not for everyone, but for the lucky ones, it has become a comfortable blanket that warms your heart. Here are the stages of falling in love with this warm beverage:

Stage 1: Ew this stuff is gross

Stage 2: Well if I add a LOT of milk, sugar, and fun flavors, I guess it's ok. I think I will stick with tea for now.

Stage 3: Actually this stuff (little bit of coffee with a ton of sugar and cream) is pretty good!

Stage 4: I have a strong craving for some coffee right about now. I think I will switch it up and have an iced coffee.

Stage 5: Wow I think I really like coffee and its magical affect to brighten my day and mood.

Stage 6: I should probably cut down on the amount of sugar and creamer in this cup, its so bad for me. But just so so good.

Stage 7: At Starbucks orders Skinny Vanilla Latte instead of typical Chai Latte and feels like you are betraying the chai that started your love for the wonderful place.

Stage 8: You realize just how coffee important is for you to function properly.

Stage 9: You find local coffee shops where ever you go.

Stage 10: You love the caffeine kick just as much as the first sip as it warms your entire body.

Stage 11: The realization that you spend way too much money on the glorious liquid, but then again, look how pretty. It's art.

Stage 12: "I NEED coffee to get through this day" becomes the phrase for everyday.
