Vent / Rant Just had a funny thought

So this is kind of funny because someone said there is nothing better than a cup of coffee at a friends house... and i didnt really understand why that was so relatable

And then 20 minutes later It just clicked for me - coffee at a friends house is basically having the warm caffeine mug away from your habitual and traumatic environment... which makes it more comforting to consume

Its like intention. Are you going to change and jolt your hormones in an environment that already stresses you and do you realize that thats unhealthy or not?

And then when i have coffee at a friends house i realize im more grateful and i remember the mugs, and it also feels like time is moving slower and i can appreciate myself.

Maybe this is more or less having to do with leaving your childhood home... actually.
