Some people admit that they are addicted to the popular donut and coffee chain fueling their mornings with cheap but delicious coffee and breakfast items. But I’m more than addicted as my Dunkin' intake level is probably lethal at this point. This might sound quite crazy, but I’m in love.

Dear Dunkin' Donuts,

I love you.

Every relationship has its downs, right? I’ll start off with those so we can end on a good note. I’ll be as blunt and straight to the point as a girl can possibly be: sometimes, you are a little too sweet. Like when I ask for no sugar in my daily dose of caramel iced coffee, but instead, the first sip feels like I just swallowed 20,000 grains of sugar and the taste pure sugar overpowers the coffee. And I notice that sometimes you don’t listen to me and my order is completely wrong.

I would also like to bring up that at times, your love is not as consistent as I would like it to be. One day, I am drinking the most perfectly brewed coffee that it still confuses me how something can be so perfect. However, the next day, the coffee is extremely off and bland. It’s almost as if you completely changed. I hope to overcome these rough patches in our relationship, but of course, there are so many positive experiences that we have shared that completely outweighs all our little fights.

First and foremost, my love for you is reciprocated. You send me cute tweets and even slid into my DMs a few times. You understand my struggles as a broke college kid and gave me the cutest gift: a cup that gives me 99 cent coffees any time of the day. There were a few times you just read my mind as I walked into the store and you basically had my order ready because you know me so well.

Seriously, you know how to make a girl happy. Thank you for always being there for me. When I move to a new city, you are always there to give me the heartwarming love. When it is halfway through the long work day, you help me pull through the second half to make sure I perform my best. When I need to stay late writing an essay because I binge-watched Netflix all day, you support me to make sure I always succeed.You even remedied me through a serious injury. And I mean this when I say this, but I do not know how I can live without you.

I hate bringing up my ex, but you taste better, are less expensive, and a lot less complicated (none of that Light Iced Venti Ristretto Cinnamon Dolce Soy Skinny Latte nonsense!) than Starbucks. I know I messed up sometimes and chose Starbucks over you, but that love is not real. We have our ups and downs, but love like this never fails.

Love,

Your most loyal customer ever.

P.S. I am indeed writing this as I am sitting at my local Dukin' Donuts.
