Coffee for love... Change?
I don't like how focused you are on coffee!
That's how the morning started.
I woke up, washed my face and was mesmerized in the mirror, a strange feeling, the signs of a weird day, I walked to the kitchen and it was the first thing I heard.
I dissimulated, took a glass of water and took a deep breath.
I could be reactive and answer the first irony that crossed my mind, but arguing and permeating the atmosphere with energies of contention, for now, is not a pleasure for me.
Well, I confess that that Meta-medicine documentary made me reflect. Anger, resentment, hatred; these are emotions that damage, one by one, the organs of the human body, and I keep dreaming of the injection of youth that will park my biological clock at its best.
My obsession with beauty is the subject of another chapter, specifically I want to talk about the mixed feelings I have with the verbal incontinence and impositions of my new love.
Really, how can my love for coffee bother anyone, even opening my mind to other scenarios, would I be able to give up my morning coffee to please my partner?
The answer is NO, but I really like this person, I think I am starting to fall in love, I will think about how to deal with his dislike without hurting his ego, hands in the air, white flag.
In love I stumbled several times with the same stone, maybe I was also the stone in someone's shoe, I am not a prude, even if I throw the stone and hide the hand.
I suffered from anxiety due to the need to be accompanied and the coffee was there to calm me down, I began to see the spring in solitude, I mean, introspection, self-love.
I received strokes of caresses, I learned to cook, I mastered the effects of the lunar calendar on me and I am still standing with a plan A and a plan B, open also to the surprises of life, without pause and without haste.
--
Dear love of my life, you know that the law gives me the right to the free development of my personality, within the framework of this precept, I try that my actions do not harm anyone, not even myself, it is also true, that not all the time people will do things in order to affect you, people just do things and you decide if they affect you or not affect you. With Facebook memes you can reflect.
I want you to focus more on my virtues, strengths and how we can complement each other, is that okay with you?
I could really give up coffee for you, but it is not democratic, I remember, I overlooked that time you told me, that, with my conciliatory and diplomatic personality, it was my duty to paint in colors your gray sorrows in those moments of temper at its maximum expression, but I also have my demons, I am balance between light and shadow, therefore, I expect the same.
I will give up coffee that day when you give up your TV series marathons until the wee hours of the morning, it's a fair deal, we will both give up something in return.
Days later I can say, the operation paid off...
Today I can remain focused on my fascination, coffee.

Reading your response, I dunno if that was a compromise or a send off😂
Compromise is all. Yes, the TV for the coffee! It could not be simpler. Your vivid, evocative writing leaves a sign on the wall: brilliant 🤩!
It's a pleasure to read your writing @ungranulises

Truly an amazing story:)))
