My pleasure with coffee ☕️.

We all have different ways of life, which is why we have different personalities and characters. The way you were brought up is quite different from the way I was. There are some things we do that might be taboo to someone else. So all of these are why it's not always easy to come together as a couple and live forever. However, with time, we get to understand our differences and work on them.

In our home, Mum always ensured we had our meals ready on time. So we are not used to eating late and most times mum has always been the one doing all the shopping. She would go to the market and buy almost everything we needed for a couple of months.

So I am not used to Shopping or buying things in retail and bulk. Though at times we do get them in retail before Mum would go to the market again. But it is not something common.

Everything changed when I got admission into the university. I had to cater to my needs and then I couldn’t even afford to buy things in bulk. I only got them in retail. Life changes an individual.

Taking Coffee is not something we are used to at home. The only time we get to have a little sip of it is when Dad decides to take some. Most times he buys them in smaller amounts. He takes the one he can just drink and then everyone would go for milk and tea.

The aroma of coffee has been one of my favorites. I have always wished to drink it often but I can't afford it. As I said, when I got into the university then I was chanced to buy whatever I wanted at my own expense. I might choose to skip breakfast so I can have something nice for dinner and there are times I would like to take something hot on a cold morning.

I never knew how consistent I would be with taking coffee not until it was exam time and I had to read overnight. If care is not taken I most times sleep off in the middle of reading and then wake the next day to realize I slept off while reading.

I remember someone said that taking coffee served as a stimulant for him and keeps him awake whenever he wants to read overnight. This got me pressured and wanted to give it a trial too. At least if I can have my eyes wide open till dawn then I will be a success and that means I would begin to patronize more coffee stores when I want to read.

I bought the coffee in bulk, so I can just keep drinking a sachet each night before reading. After drinking over three cups I realized I am always dozing off even faster than when I don't take coffee. Oooh. How possible? I thought it was a stimulant, but now it's like a sleeping pill. I did this and the results are always the same. So I had to stop with the mindset of drinking coffee to stay awake.

If it were to work fine for me then I might have gotten addicted to taking coffee by now. And even tend to buy more in bulk. But since it was otherwise for my body, then I knew I didn't have a choice but to just take it whenever I crave it.

So this has my pattern for shopping for coffee being a once-a-while thing and not a heavy patronage.
