Dearest Coffee,

I’m not giving up on you, I just feel like it may be a good idea to see other hot beverages as well.

Maybe this running into each other numerous times a day could be pared back to once?

You have done so much for me in this sleepy phase of my life, where I continually run on steam and lack of sleep. You have brought me comfort in the chaos of children, stress relief at work, quiet moments to myself… but I have met exercise, who has promised me much more energy and feeling more alert in general. While also bringing me some piece of mind and time alone.

I promise I will still see you once a day, and I will look forward to that moment all day. I just have to stop relying on you to wake me up in the morning and keep me going all day. Or even evening sometimes.

I still adore you, I swear it’s not you, it’s me.

Sincerely,
Candace.
