Your perspective that, “small acts of deprivation add up, too, but in negative ways rank with resentment” was so beautifully put. I loved this think piece and all you were able to shove into it...and with a starting thought of drinking coffee you deserve. Brava!!
I love this entire post. 100% agree on coffee. It is not worth sacrificing. Drink it however makes your soul feel most alive every morning. I have to have decaf because I have a sensitive stomach, but it is admittedly an interesting time when the barista accidentally gives me caffeine and my thoughts race a mile a minute, translating to texting me loved ones 8x in a minute - haha! Also, loved your updates on what you're listening to and such. The JK Rowling bit sounded quite interesting. Making a note of that one!
Shitty work coffee really makes me appreciate my at home single cup. I use Coffee Mate's Natrual Bliss Sweet Cream. Which is real milk with some sweetness and it's perfection.

Also, as someone in the business on ensuring every claim made is referenced and all your footnotes are in order...your references KILLED ME.

Also, I love the way you write. It's very cozy. Like I'm hearing from a friend.
If I drank coffee, I'd have to have it fancied up, too. And I wouldn't regret that either.

We love a philosophical rant. Life is too short to drink shitty coffee.
