Joe, I'm over you

I decided that it would be better for me if I stopped seeing Joe. Yes, Joe does its job of making me feel productive. Joe smells really good, makes things much more cozier somehow. But Joe makes me spend money, feel jittery, and sweat twice the amount during vinyasa classes. Also Joe gives me the occasional breakouts... I just cannot continue. Yes, I am not an avid coffee drinker anymore.

I usually like it black, or if I'm in less "bold" mood I get a latte. But as the months pass by I grew more and more dependent on coffee. My day does not start until 30 minutes after coffee consumption. There was one time where I had some agency paperwork to do and it was pretty hefty, I didn't want to do it until I drank another cup of coffee. Within hours I finished everything. I pondered where did the natural source of energy I used to had went? In college I admit I did not rely entirely on coffee but I also drank redbull and monster...not good. But in my high school days..I got work done without assistance of coffee!

I decided to do it cold turkey, I'm glad I was not a heavy drinker. If I was- I probably would turn into a craving monster. The first three days were horrible. Just horrible. I tried hoaxing myself with tea, nothing worked. Then as the days pass by, it became less difficult and I'm going in third week without coffee. I am happy that I'm not a dependent anymore but it takes time to restore my natural energy source. And my wallet is much happier! I admit, I still carry my to-go cup with tea in it. I just think it look cool drinking my cute cup. Makes me look productive!

Life's great, just different lately. I've been really focused on myself.
