An Ode To Black Coffee

Thank you.

An Ode To Black Coffee

Black coffee:

I thank you for working miracles for me, even though I know you can't respond with "You're welcome."

You really have gotten me through a lot. I wake up in the morning and I feel better knowing that you will be there for me; knowing that you will always be there for me. You give me the energy to take on my day. You give me the gifts of happiness and joy. You even help me to remember what I have to do for the day. Thank you. You are the best.

Your color is so dark and reflective. You remind me that everyone is different. Everyone has a different color; not one looking identical to the other. We all come from different places. You, I know, come from Costa Rica. Everyone is different. The others come from all over the world.

I know not all are made to be strong, but you are strong and bold. Almighty you are. The others like the way they are: weak and bitter. Sometimes I find you slightly bitter, but most of the time you are perfect to me. Even if you are bitter, you are loyal.

Your aromatic fragrance is something else I appreciate. You always change it up. Some days your scent is French Vanilla, and others it is Southern Pecan. Every day, it is invigorating. Your smell is charming to most, especially to me. Bridging the gap of time from childhood memories to present day indulgence, you draw everyone to where you are located. Most of the time you are in the kitchen.

You have changed a lot. You have been around for so long that people became creative. They came up with different ways to make you who you are. You are always dressed in different colors, covering your body and giving you character. I would never dare to judge you based on what you are dressed in.

Your warmth is what I like the most on a cold day. I love having you right next to me to keep me warm. Even on a hot day, you are there to cool me down and take some of the heat away. I love having you there next to me no matter the weather.

I appreciate you. You have always been there, leading me to the right choices. You bring a kind of love into my life that makes me feel warm all over. You make my heart race. Strangely, you relax me at the same time.

You bring people together! Everyone loves taking pictures of you. You are so good to me, so good for me. You are stylish and personal. You are unique!

You are my coffee.

Thank you, black coffee.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
