Some people own coffee. They may buy a bag occasionally, and have a cup every now and then and that's about it. But for others, coffee owns them.

It’s not that everything else is less important, it's just that coffee is what helps you deal with the important things.

Here are some things you know are true if coffee rules your life:

1. Before you even open your eyes, you are thinking about your first warm cup of coffee,

I bet you can even smell it.

2. And the walk from your bed to the coffee pot takes all your will power.

3. Friends and family know when you haven't had your coffee yet.

And they know not to mess with you.

4. But once you have your coffee, you feel like this.

Ready to take on the world (at least until your next cup).

5. You basically measure your days in cups of coffee,

Somedays require a few extra cups...or pots.

6. And you don't usually make demands...except when it comes to coffee.

And you don't even feel bad about it.

7. A good cup of coffee makes life a bit more bearable

And if it doesn’t make it more bearable, at least it makes it taste better.

8. You have a coffee mug for every occasion

And you always get them as gifts.

9. You know exactly how you take your coffee

Because you're not just fixing your coffee, you're fixing yourself.

10. There’s always time to squeeze in one more cup.

Somedays you are fully caffeinated, other days you’re a little more caffeine challenged.

11. Your doctor thinks you're "over-caffeinated"

But really, what do they know?

12. Visual aesthetics matter to you

You know coffee is beautiful, now others can appreciate its beauty with you.

13. Your year is broken down by Starbucks' seasonal menu.

Pumpkin spice is not just a flavor, its a season.

14. Coffee is the solution to every problem.

Go ahead, try and think of something coffee won't fix.

15. Your closest relationships revolve around coffee

You know what they say, coffee is thicker than blood. Right?

16. Eventually, you will come to terms with your addiction.

Okay, you may have a problem.

17. And then you can really embrace it

Some may call it addicted, but I call prefer to call it devoted.
