My Craving: I’m Yearning for Something Sweet, but Not A Dessert It’s Coffee.

Hello, hiver friends! Today is a bright, sunny day, and the weather is incredibly hot. I can feel the heat pressing down on me, but instead of staying inside, I decided to take a walk into town. It’s been a while since I’ve just strolled around leisurely, so I thought it would be nice to enjoy the fresh air. As I was walking, I happened to come across a newly opened Tealive shop, and my eyes lit up when I saw it. Of course, I couldn’t resist stopping by to grab my favorite drink—Bang Bang coffee with boba.

I love how the sweet, creamy taste of the coffee mixes with the chewy, satisfying boba. It’s the perfect treat on such a hot day. After getting my drink, I continued my walk slowly back home, savoring every sip of my iced coffee as I went. As I walked, I couldn’t help but reflect on my younger years. I’m now in my 40s, and I suddenly realized how much I used to walk everywhere back then, even when I had food or drinks in hand. It was a time when having a car wasn’t a luxury for us, and we relied on walking for almost everything. Today, walking around with a drink felt like a return to those simpler times.

It’s funny, but in a way, I felt a bit younger again as I walked through the streets, just enjoying the moment. There’s something nostalgic about those days when we didn’t have the convenience of a car to whisk us from place to place. These days, walking in town feels like a bit of an escape from the usual rush. It’s so much easier now to get around on foot, especially since driving here can be such a hassle. The area is always so busy, and parking is almost impossible to find. If you drive, you can spend forever just searching for a spot, and by the time you do, you’ve wasted so much time. As I walked, a small sense of happiness grew inside me. I was content in my own company, and I couldn’t help but feel that the little moment of “me time” was worth every penny of the two-dollar drink I bought. It might seem small, but those simple joys are often the best.

Hello @luthis26 so many going on in our life sometime we feel like lost, its just like a type of a bit of skip when you have alone time.

Sometimes we need to breath and relax even for a while. Indeed a quick great escape of the day having a delicious cup of coffee.

yah right You got me, most of the time we cant explain ourselves to others only us can understand our own, and now in my age I' am tired to explain myself or what I feel, I just want to treat my self even in simple thing and had a quick escape from reality.

Hello! hope you enjoy your tea. The place is nice and relaxing. Having time alone for yourself is a goodway to recharge yourself and forgot the stressed in life and look forward to to better days to come in your life.Have enough faith and always remember that THEIR IS always a rainbow after the rain..

Thank you so much for your kind words. You're absolutely right, taking time to recharge is so important. I really appreciate the reminder to keep the faith and look forward to brighter days ahead. I’m definitely taking that to heart. Hope you're doing well too.

Awww.. who would have thought that a trip to this shop would actually bring back memories of the past, reminding you of the simplicity and charm of earlier years. And wait, this is 40? Nah.. Looks like 30ish. Age is a state of mind. These quiet moments of reflection make us realise how far we’ve come in life. However, these simple pleasures of our past still hold a special place in our hearts.

Absolutely, it’s amazing how certain places can bring back those cherished memories. It’s a reminder that age really is just a number, and the simple things from the past are what truly make life meaningful. Here's to embracing every stage and appreciating the little moments that shape us.

Teatime/ Coffee time is basically "me time". And we definitely need that time every once in a while. It's good that you still provide a significant amount of time for yourself to relax and enjoy the moment. Keep it up! Love yourself while loving other people!

Taking time for ourselves is so important, and I’m glad I’m able to do that. Thanks for the encouragement it’s all about balance, right? Love yourself and spread that love around.

Truly a coffee lover, it's the perfect companion to those quiet moments. Enjoy your me time while savoring a good cup of coffee. Sometimes the best moments come in the simplest form.

There’s something so special about those quiet moments with a cold cup of coffee. It’s the little things that truly make a difference. Thanks for appreciating the simple joys of mine.

True, just for you to relax, reflect and simply be. You're welcome anytime 😍

Amazing how a simple moment, like grabbing a coffee, can bring back so many memories and feelings. Your experience really highlights the joy of taking time for yourself and appreciating the little things. Here's to more "me time" and those sweet moments of nostalgia! Enjoy your coffee and the simple pleasures of life. 😊

Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s amazing how the simplest moments can hold so much meaning. Here's to cherishing the little things and taking time to reflect. Cheers to more me time and the beauty of nostalgia!😉

Your place is such amazing to stroll around. Have a nice day with a yummy iced coffee mixed with the Boba 🧋 Its purple cutie Coffee shops we had here a Lavender coffee shop but I had heard that there coffee shop is nee built here. If I have some free time I will visit there soon.

Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed strolling my post, Hope you get to enjoy some iced coffee and boba soon too, even in different brand or shop it’s a bit cool the ice coffee with boba something childish taste haha☕🧋 Have a wonderful day.

Wow! love to see you strolling and it's great your craving was satisfied. Your "me" time is really worth it! A beauty parlor is also a haven for us women, right?

Thank you so much! It really was the perfect little escape. And yes, a beauty salon is definitely a sanctuary nothing beats some self-care time! 💅💖but at this moment I can't afford to go for salon, when I go to salon sure I will spend 86.20hbd for my nails and hair etc. that’s why when I want to do a salon, I must prepare my budget! Lol!😊

Prepare the budget haha and share it here . It would be nice to witness. Looking forward to it.

Hahahah, when my husband got the budget, he will spend usually for my salon like his treat to me when he got extra. anyway, to make more understandable, me and my husband concepts is totally different for what we as Filipino nature, he will make money to provide our family for all the bills so he don't give me money to budget for grocery, because he will do everything even the cooking hahahah, once in a while I will cook because even cooking he love it. the point is I don't need to worry about budget, as long as got extra he give me for myself, he always gives me for my coffee shop or for 2 cans of beer, but for shopping and salon he must have a big extra. anyway, we give and take whatever I can keep I will save, so when his tight and need some, I have something to help him.

Right! it should be like that. Same here my husband cooks for us because it is never a gender role for us. Whoever has the time and the skills will better do the chore. As parents we should contribute in the family we made. It's not just the husbands responsibility now. Wives should also help and are capable of providing for themselves and the family.

Yah, now days it will take two to tango, and being humble in relationship will bring the family happiness.

Life becomes so hectic and stressful at times, but these little breaks like these can really make all the difference. There is nothing quite as nice as enjoying an instant escape from the fray of the day with a good cup of coffee in hand. The feel of the warm mug, the soothing scent, and the deep flavor offer not just physical comfort but also mental ease and tranquility.
