What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
View all responses

Step 1: Coffee ☕

Step 2: More coffee ☕

Step 3: Stare into the void until the coffee starts working 😂

There is no “good morning” until caffeine has entered the chat.

I don’t wake up—I boot up… very slowly… like an old computer from 2002.

For at least the first hour, I am not available for:

❌ conversations

❌ decisions

❌ eye contact

❌ anything requiring brain power

It’s just me, my coffee, and a quiet promise that eventually… I will become a person again.

Until then?

We keep refilling the cup and pretending we have our life together ☕✨

☕ If this sounds a little too relatable and you want to support my coffee-powered existence, you can buy me a coffee here

  3. For me, it depends on the day because I try to create something different in each one so that I don’t feel like my life is on “autopilot!” I only get one chance in this “game of life” so I want to make each moment count!

  4. I so badly wish I liked coffee! At my old job, I lived 3 tenths of a mile from my office so I stayed in bed as long as possible. Then got up with just enough time to take a shower and drive the 2 minutes to work.

    1. Ooooh I wish! I have a 40 minute trek to my job and of course it’s usually pitch black the entire drive so coffee definitely keeps me going haha!
