One of my favorite times is when I'm having a cup of coffee while thinking.
And now, there’s a cup of coffee next to my laptop while thinking and tapping on my laptop. It's like coffee can solve everything you're going through. It's like the strongness of the coffee that you are drinking and you has become one.
Just like today, I'm having a strong black coffee, no sugar, no milk, nothing fancy. And just like I am today, feeling strong, feeling that I can do everything if I will it. But everything changes every now and then, just like how we want our coffee every now and then. Sometimes we just want it black, sometimes we want it with sugar and milk, but often we go back to the blend that we are used to, the blend that suits our taste. Just like how we go back to the lifestyle that we are comfortable with. Just like how we keep on going back to our precious friends who already know our taste, who already know us.
But there are times, that the things we are used to changes. Sometimes no matter how we go back to how it was, things just aren't the same. Sometimes the sweetness we are looking for is gone already. Sometimes no matter how we look back the colors that once make us happy are not there anymore.
Is it because it became a habit? Is it because you are too comfortable that the person is always there,therefore it loses its importance? Or maybe we think that things will always stay the same and we didn't notice that small changes that lead to pushing away the person around us. We became too complacent that the people around us who are always there, will always be there for us, that in just one call or just one message they will be there in a jiffy.
Just like coffee, it also runs out even if we ordered an unlimited serving. And so are the people around us when we become too complacent that they will always be there.
Just like our stock of coffee, it needs to be refilled, each blend needs to be replaced. We need to replenish our stock so that every time we want it there is something we can get.
It is the same with how we care and look after the people around us. It must always be filled so that it does not lose its importance, does not lose its flavor, does not lose its color.
But what exactly can you do for the people around you? For the people, you care about?
Are they important enough for you to set aside time for them? Are they important enough for you to make them feel and let them know that they are important? Or maybe they're not that really important and it's ok to lose them? Is it okay with you if they lose their interest in you?
What about the taste of the coffee that you always go back to, what if one day it just loses its taste just because you've been too complacent with it too?
For me? You only neglect people who don't mean anything to you. They are the people who you push away unintentionally because it's okay to lose them. Because they don't matter, however, it's a different story for the people you care about.
Not all the time, the people around you will always understand you. Not all the time, they will always choose to stay even if your push them away. One day, you will just wake up and they are gone already, that no matter how you call, they are not there anymore.
Remember, Even coffee loses its meaning if left unattended.
And if you've come this far... I hope that I was able to entertain you and made you smile... and for that Thank you.

Hello @eylz619,
Life is about nurturing and caring for people and things that mean much to us. The same as our bodies. We have to look after ourselves to avoid depletion. Just like friends and the people close to us as you've mentioned...and yes, I do agree that it's a great time to have moments of reflection on our actions while drinking coffee.
Have a nice day!
thanks for dropping by @millycf1976! yep.. it's always great to reflect while having coffee :)
Have a great day!

What else was in that coffee Eylz, I think it is called philosophical juice.
I had a change today too, some Jade Fire green tea. but now back to coffee again😁
Hahahaha i think I need that coffee again to write another good article 🤣
I need one now to finish this one off
Those thoughts with coffee are profound and very true, sis! We shouldn't forget the people we care about. The excuse of time should never be valid in this.
I hope your weekend was nice! xoxo
thanks for dropping by sis! yes my weekend was good... a bit quiet but good.
and yes, being busy is not an excuse for anyone if you really care about a person :)
thank you so much!

I'm really not a fan of coffee but most times I wonder whats with the coffee that makes people take it often. I hope very soon, I will be able to have a taste of it.
How's your challenge going? Don't forget to encourage someone today.
@dreemport directed me to your post
hi @davidbright!
Coffee taste good. Actually coffee have a lot of different taste and every one who drinks have their own blend that they like. as for me? now I like m coffee not too strong, with creamer but no sugar though there are times that I like with sugar but without creamer.
thanks for the reminder! challenge is alright and hey Its Friday now! don't forget to smashed that stars and make a report. !
I really need to taste the coffee and see it I will enjoy it. Your description makes it look so tasty.. I wonder if its really that tasty and nice...
You don't know happy I am that today is Friday. Finally I get to rest from these challenge stuff... Having just a week left. It hasn't been easy but we will keep smashing it just to get the star.
I wish you all the best on your challenge today. Don't forget to get the gold star.
hahaha I'm sure by the end of this challenge your body will miss it that you'll continue doing all the task everyday! hmm how's it going? hope you got all the 5 gold stars for this week!
Enjoy your Friday David!
You are right.. I just hope I have the strength and will to carry on by the end of the challenge.
I'm sure getting the remaining star today. What about you?.. Hope you won't be using the f word today? Let me trust you on this
This made my night as I am inspired. I love how you relate coffee with our relationship with people and how we need to discard those who shouldn´t be part of our lives. If we truly care about people, we should give time for them and not make them think we do not care. I came through @dreemport
hi @princessbusayo! thanks for the visit!
yep... if we really care for someone why let them have a chance to doubt our intentions right?
Oh. This is interesting. How we can look at this from a cup of coffee but it's totally true. We either pay little or no attention and leave it tasteless.

Nothing like a hot coffee and just being able to meditate @eylz619! Your sis @ifarmgirl likes to sit in the coffee cafe and watch it rain: provides awesome comfort and pleasing aesthetics.
I enjoyed reading this post, and I like me a good cup (or 3) in the morning. I used to drink it at all hours, but cut back immensely.
This post was obtained through Dreemport.
Hahaha, guilty😂 I do but just occasionally😁
A good cup in the morning kinda makes the day☕
hmmm wait is this farmboy?
and yes @ifarmgirl likes to sit in a cafe and watch the rain... I remember this on one of her articles where they watch someone who run away after hitting one the car in the parking lot hahaha
thanks for the visit! and i remember too that you both cut back on coffee and having apples instead.. I'm still not successful on cutting back my coffee but a small improvement is still improvement right? I'm only having 2 coffee now.. one in the morning and one after lunch :)
