CL Stories – Coffee [Chapter 41]

Nothing can be more fragrant than the scent of coffee every morning. How it turns up and turns on your senses from a long cold slumber. How it goes well with any meal you may want to take every morning. The sun heats up your body, but coffee is just so miraculous that gives off a feeling of rejuvenation on both your physique and psyche from within. How instantly one sip zaps you into this hype and it starts your mentality right. You are instantly able to think of the things you have to do for the day. It ignites your mind and body and starts the daily cycle and routine of your life. A morning without coffee is like a bed without pillows, you can sleep in a bed without pillows but wouldn’t it be better if you had them? You will surely sleep much better with the pillows and mornings will always be better as well with coffee.  My love and obsession for coffee is a little above average, it’s not harmful anyway. I usually take around three to four cups a day. I remember one quote saying that coffee is a lot like love. It is naturally bitter but what makes it worth drinking is because it becomes the perfect concoction when you add a few more ingredients to it. Same goes for love; it will never promise you a happily ever after ending like in the bedtime story books or fairy tales. But as you learn to appreciate its worth, overcome the trials and obstacles that it will give you, cherish each day it is in your hands and learn to accept and see through the imperfections then that is the only time it becomes the perfect brew of Love. Love much like the taste and feel of coffee does not only keep you awake late at night or wakes you up from your sleepy mornings, but makes you realize the bittersweet reality of life. Life may not always be fair. We may never know why bad things happen to good people or why bad people usually have the best luck. These are some of the things that may or may not be easily comprehended by the human mind. You are given the right to be cynical or disparaging about it. I’d rather keep my faith and just be positive about it, that all things happen for a reason and that it will always be a part of a bigger picture.

“The quality of life we live is only as great as the love we can give.”
