Starting the day with a steaming cup of coffee recharges my days with energy. But can I say that coffee has become my new obsession?
I'm sure it has! Because from the moment I wake up I'm thinking about a good cup of coffee and what used to be enough for me, now just means the first cup of several that I will surely enjoy for the rest of the day.
I don't know if it's because the level of worries and busyness has increased in the last few months, but coffee is becoming a new and delicious obsession. Healthy or not? I need a cup of coffee during or after my lunch in the middle of the afternoon and yes also during the evening. Especially on days when I intend to stay up late working.
In order not to take this little obsession so far, I have chosen to prepare only the necessary amount to accompany my breakfast. This way, perhaps, I avoid drinking too much, but well, this has not been enough. The desire for a good coffee overcomes the laziness and I end up preparing a little more, because somehow I feel I need it.
Drinking coffee comforts me and makes me feel close to home, especially if it is the coffee my parents send me. I have already told you that they are dedicated to coffee growing, but the irony is that a few years ago I did not even try it.
Before that, I only drank the coffee my grandmother gave me, in that pewter cup with beautiful flowers and lots of milk. I could not deny her anything, my mother always looked at me, laughed and asked me, but you don't like coffee, what are you doing with that cup? As time went by, I immersed myself in the wonderful world of coffee and now see me here, writing about my obsession with it.
I know I can't take this obsession too far and that I have to start decreasing the number of cups a day, I want to think that it's just another stage, like when quesadillas with milk became my obsession or when I couldn't go through the day without a bag of chips and a soda.
Wow! I just realized that I have a predisposition to obsess over delicious things, hopefully the next one will be healthier. But for now, I'm enjoying the coffee, I love the aroma, the intense flavor, the calming effect and the thoughts that come to me as I enjoy it.
Now, tell me about yourself, have you come to like something so much that you feel it became an obsession?
Until next time, a million blessings to your families.
