Coffee Break

Sitting in silence, watching steam rise from my coffee, my mind wanders. I consider life and the universe. I marvel at the idea of other worlds. Are there alternate realities? Maybe time travel is possible.

I take a sip, breaking my train of thought. A sweet memory from childhood dances through my brain. I can almost hear the sounds of the ocean, the memory is so vivid. I wonder what lies deep in the abyss of the sea? Consider the possibility of mysteries waiting to be discovered.

As I’m finishing my coffee, I think of love. Instantly, all of the faces of my loved ones flash through my mind. I smile, and let the moment of simple pleasure linger. Life, in its vast possibilities, just doesn’t get any better than the feeling of love.

  10. Calm and peaceful!!
    I certainly believe in a different universe, just like this but very different. I mean, how is it possible that god has created only 1 planet that has life??
    The universe is so huge and in that our earth is like a tiny dot.
    Also, I feel like there’s so much more to know in the ocean, I mean 80% has not been discovered. What wonders are hidden there is unknown to humans.
    I love your work, it gives peace but also it does something to the brain, I cannot stop imagining stuff.
    That’s the beauty of the writer, to force readers to imagine. I don’t know with what mood you wrote this in the past, but it’s magical amber. I respect you a lot for your work and creativity.

    1. Yes, that’s how I feel too. We can’t possibly be all alone in this vast unknown Universe. And the ocean is very curious indeed. I was writing about the practices of self care that I was implementing at the time, and taking time to let my mind wander and slow down during the day was a big one for me. I often do this with a cup of coffee. ☕️ Thank you for your comment and for taking the time to read.❤️✨

  31. A serene and contemplative text that transforms an everyday gesture into a profound reflection. Between coffee, memories, and questions about the universe, thought journeys to the essential: love as anchor and meaning. A simple pause that reminds us that, amidst the vastness, small moments also contain everything.

      1. I’m sorry you feel this way. Sometimes the feeling of not being able to be free weighs heavily, especially when we look around and others seem to be moving forward without that burden. But everyone fights different battles, many of them invisible. Comparing yourself to others only deepens the wound.

        If you don’t feel free today, perhaps it’s not about breaking everything, but about finding small spaces where you can breathe a little more deeply. Freedom can also begin with small decisions, with boundaries you learn to set, with small but firm steps.
