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

You don't always have to be doing something productive or creative. Sometimes it is okay to just take a step back and exist.

🕶I've posted about this once before and will post about it again, I'm sure. One of the things that I have noticed since getting letterboxed last year is how afraid people are to admit they like something. that new animated k-pop movie on netflix made me notice this again when three of the people that I have on there prefaced their reviews with a variant of "i consumed this ironically, but it was actually kind of good..."
...LAME... and a little bit pathetic to see tbh.
We really need to remember that you only live once. just fucking enjoy the stuff you like, and stop asking the world for permission and acceptance to do so! being so afraid of what others will think when you post a review under a kid's movie is more cringe than admitting you like a kid's movie.
