To The Love of My Life,

From the moment we first met, I knew my days would never be the same. You bring me comfort when I’m weary, energy when I’m drained, and joy in the smallest, simplest ways. You are my little indulgence, my stolen moment of joy and peace; no matter where I am or what I’m doing, I always find my way to you.

Some may call it a strange devotion—how I seek you out with unwavering certainty or how I light up at the very thought of you. They raise an eyebrow when they see us together yet again, our familiar routine unbroken. Others may call it an obsession. But I simply call it love. And though I share you with so many others, it never matters. What we have is ours.

You are always there for me, waiting patiently—never judging. The moment I step inside, you are already waiting, my usual order prepared before I even have to ask. With that first refreshing sip, the world slows down. The vibrant magenta hue catches the light, swirling like a tiny galaxy in my cup. For a moment, it is just you and me. Your bright, tropical sweetness lingers, exotic and invigorating, giving me exactly what I need to keep going.

And some days, “just keep going” is harder than others. Some days, Exhaustion clings to me. Doubt whispers that I am not enough. These are the days when the world feels overwhelming and simply demands more than I have to give. But then you appear as a simple, steady comfort in the midst of the storm. You remind me to pause. To breathe. To take life one sip at a time. With you, I can take on anything.

You may be a small part of my day. To others, you may not be worth the daily $5.75 price tag. But to me, you are more than a Venti Mango Dragonfruit Refresher. You are a promise to myself that I can keep moving forward. You are assurance that even when the weight of the world presses down, I can still find something sweet.

So, until the very last drop, I am yours.

Forever,
A Resilient Soul

(P.S. I’ll see you again tomorrow—same time, same place.)
