It's almost the new year guys!!! I can't believe how fast time flies.
We've all had that moment where we're so committed to a diet, a new year resolution, and then suddenly it hits you: Oh crap! Why am I even doing this? Can I keep up with it? Well, I'm here to tell you that life is too short, and you need to embrace the things you love with open arms.
For some time now, I've been on a coffee break, and Since the year is coming to an end and we're ushering in a new year, I've come to the conclusion that it's time to "Sod it" and reintroduce coffee into my life as a regular routine.
Why not do the things that make you happy? After all,, we're all gonna die someday.
Honestly, this realization came in when I saw this prompt; I quickly thought to myself about the big questions that never have an answer; life, my purpose, death, and growth.
I took a break from taking coffee because, quite frankly, I felt like I had been taking too much of it ( there's nothing as much coffee 🤐). Doctors warn that taking too much caffeine is bad for the health. And quite frankly, it ruined my sleep schedule as I tend to stay awake. ( I've come to realize that I need more now since exams are fast approaching and I need to burn those night candles) .
Waking up and starting my day with a cup of fresh coffee always feels right to me. And there's this warmth and comfort I feel whenever I hold my mug filled with coffee in the mornings.
The undeniable truth is that life isn't guaranteed and nobody knows when their time is up. I saw a reel on IG where a lady who was in the hospital ordered so many things: "chocolate, sweets, coffee, burger," you name it. And when the doctors came in and told her what she was having wasn't good for her health, she asked a simple question
"I've been eating right, sleeping on time, having enough rest, eating vegetables and everything doctors swear by, and staying away from canned food, but why am I in the hospital today with an incurable disease that would take my life in less than a year? I'd rather do the things I love and die happy.
All the doctors went silent and couldn't say a thing.
This post is a way of telling myself that I'm all ready to embrace the good, beautiful, and little indulgence that makes life colorful and meaningful. And guys, a tiny cup of coffee isn't what's going to determine my health outcome; it's all about balance, So Here's a toast to coffee!!
Cheers to the first sip of coffee in the year 2025. I'm choosing to do what makes me happy and gives me comfort.
In a world that's filled with so many possibilities, just be kind to yourself and if happiness to you means having a cup of freshly brewed coffee, then so be it!! After all, we're not promised tomorrow.
And cheers with a cup of coffee to New Year's resolution: I will drink coffee! I will drink coffee again! I will enjoy every sip and I will not feel guilty about it. Life is unpredictable to deny myself one of the simple things that gives me joy.

Happy New Year in advance and see you in 2025 in a couple of hours ☕☕
