Of Coffee and Life Lessons

When I started drinking coffee last year, I learned a lot of precious life lessons revolving around it. It’s not simply about a well-known beverage; it goes far beyond that. 

And honestly, it’s kinda sad to think that some people have such a negative mentality regarding those who love sharing their coffee moments on social media. Let me list down a few negative connotations that people usually associate with coffee lovers: 

- showing-off attitude 

- unnecessary lavish lifestyle 

- bad for your health 


I’m not gonna say anything about the points above, but I do wanna write down some beautiful coffee-life lessons I’ve learned so far: 

1) People who enjoy their coffee moments in a coffeehouse are usually people who appreciate being alone and actually feel good about it. (And this is important.) 

2) Making our own coffee at home teaches us that there are little things in our everyday lives that we can look forward to and be grateful for. 

3) To be able to find people who love coffee as much as we do is indeed a blessing. It’s kinda like an instant friendship, but with a deep connection. 

4) It’s important not to think badly of others who love doing something that we don’t. Just because we don’t understand why they love something (in this case, coffee), doesn’t mean it’s bad. Let people love what they love and enjoy life in their own way, as long as it’s halal. 

5) It’s okay if people misunderstand us (regarding coffee or any other aspect of our lives). Let them say we’re showing off or damaging our health. They’re accountable for what they say, and we don’t owe them any explanation. People should know better than to think that a picture or video truly reflects what actually happens in someone’s life.
