getting my usual iced latte at any coffee shop is always a toss up, regardless of where i go. about 1/10 times i end up being handed a hot cup instead. i know this means i've yet again met the fate of having to wait 15 mins to drink it, and then having to chug before it gets to that unpleasant lukewarm stage soon afterwards. i know...the horror! how will i ever survive? regardless of how internally disappointed i feel, i always end up just kindly smiling and thanking the barista, and go on with my day. it just takes too much effort to have them remake it and im afraid they'll hate me or something, idek.
this almost always happens on the days where i have had a particularly rough start to my day, and am feeling tired and rushed. maybe its me forgetting to mention that i wanted it iced, or maybe its the universe humbling me for being such a whiny little bitch about having a mildly unpleasant morning.
as nothing stops the heat of the cup from transferring directly into every nerve in my palm, the sting in my hand reminds me that i should probably work on the fact that i hate how i cant control the outcome of every single day of my life, and i should try and go with the flow for once.
there's a lesson to be learned in not getting whatever the fuck you want, i guess.

it’s the middle of january but i’m still drinking iced coffee. someone offered me a free hot coffee at an event and i didn’t even want it. i think hot drinks relax me too much, so when i need to lock in i need something cold and energizing

And don’t drink it all • so it cools to room temp, but then you do drink it-it somehow feels cold ; might be a form of magic?

It’s incredible how many people genuinely think they are boring. There have been so many times I’ve spoken with people and they confess that they think that they haven’t done much with their life, or that they don’t have much interesting to talk about, but it’s almost never the case.
From what I can tell, it’s often caused by a lack of knowing thyself. Or maybe a low self esteem? I’ve been through it too, and it is so so not true for anyone.
You’ve done so much living. Why do you feel like your story is not worth telling? I know you’ve gone through some crazy shit once or twice. if you really haven’t, what’s stopping you from getting out there and creating stories to talk about? Start small! go to a coffee shop once a week. See if they have any clubs to join, and try that out! you’ll be making memories in NO TIME.
If you have trouble finding meaningful/fun conversation, just remember that the effort must flow both ways. You are merely just working with what the other person is providing you, and if they aren’t giving you anything to work with, it’s not your fault. You aren’t boring, you are just around people who dont vibe with you. And that’s okay! Not every person is going to be your specific kind of person. Plus, if you aren’t having fun talking to them, why does it matter if they like you? the much cooler people who value your input are just around the corner. I promise.
One day you’ll be able to shine your beautiful personality on someone who is equally as bright you are, you magnificent comet, you.
