I was thinking today about how things are missing from your life and you don’t even realise it until they appear.
For example, coffee.
I never drank coffee... ever, until one fine day last weekend when I went to make a cup of tea at work.
As I was about to place a teaspoon of sugar into my cup, to my dismay I discovered that the coffee spoon had been used to scoop out sugar, leaving crusty coffee remnants all throughout the sugar container.
What was i to do?
I couldn’t have tea, for a tea/coffee combination would not go down too satisfyingly.
I couldn't just have nothing because I was about to fall asleep.
So I had no option, but to take the plunge.
I ventured into the mysterious tin of hell and reluctantly spooned some coffee and sugar into my cup. The feeling of anticipation was overwhelming as I held that steaming chalice of cheap, instant coffee to my lips- was it going to be good? I didn’t know.
As soon as I tasted that warm, caffeine-filled goodness, it was true love.
And now frankly, I can’t live without it.
It’s complete madness- I don’t expect anyone to understand.
Now there’s a whole world of coffee out there for me to explore, it’s just opened up new doors like you wouldn’t believe. I don’t fall asleep in class anymore and I have an unlimited supply of energy; I’ve reached Nirvana on Earth.
So, where would I be without coffee? Probably curled up in ball somewhere, not realising what I’m missing out on. But now, I feel invincible, like the world is in my cappuccino.
Things come and go in your life, sometimes without you noticing it and other times so obviously that they can change your life forever. Some events are emotional, like love and other things quite superficial, yet equally as important, like discovering the wonders of coffee.
It’s amazing, you should try it sometime.
Until next time, stay cool ;)
