Coffee House owner chiming in: drink whatever the hell you enjoy.

“Who is it?” is my go to.

Fussy wiseass? Sure. But they are joyful fussy wiseasses.

Seafood Sub from Subway. It was my childhood. WhichWich comes close but it’s not the same.

I stopped trying to fight it. I’ve wasted so much time trying to rewire my brain. Now I just prepare for the worst by default.

Does the worst ever happen? Very rarely, but that seems beside the point. If the point is that one has had the worse happen enough times to never let their guard down.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

I’ll branch out every now and then, especially if I’m sharing the pie, but I’ve always preferred a cheese pizza.

On a side note, as a small kid, Home Alone normalized and made me not feel ashamed for being so “basic” in my plain-cheese tastes.

Also, vanilla icecream is the best.

Currently in the market for a vintage and, while I agree with your sentiment, unless the guitar’s name is Trigger I’ve only seen prices drop with wear and tear.

I get about 20-30 a day and at least half as many leave voicemails. The phone part of my phone is useless and deleting voicemails to keep inbox from overfilling on the rare chance a client needs something has become a chore.

There has got to be a better way.

I make my coffee slightly stronger and plop a couple ice cubes in. Perfect temp after 5 minutes and stays at perfect temp for a long time.

Most of my life, yes. I wear a layer of anxiety at all times, and it feels like everything is filtered through it first. Sometimes it gets thin, but it’s always there. I know it’s cliché, but exercise really does work.

No, it was Spain.

Exactly!

There is also the benefit of being able to move on from a hobby that doesn’t click, without having to feel any amount of guilt.

Gardening (veges!), musical instruments (currently guitar), vidja games, cooking, bread baking, self-hosting, paddle boarding, wood working, and a life-long hobby of trying new hobbies.

There are thousands of hobbies out there. You never know which ones will click with you. Try as many of them as you can! If something looks interesting, go for it! Look for the least expensive entry point. If it requires equipment, rent, borrow, or go super cheap. Unless its safety equipment… Then don’t go cheap.

A fine example is guitar: don’t spend more than $100 on a used acoustic. If you stick with guitar long enough, you’ll eventually be able to make that shitty guitar sing while also understanding exactly how it’s holding you back so you’ll know what to look for when upgrading to something intermediate.

Also, “earning the right” to get better equipment is a badass feeling.

Apply that to any hobby that requires investment. If you invest a small amount of money and realize the hobby is not right for you, you didn’t lose much but gained a lot of insight about yourself.

If you can visualize when asleep but not when awake, how do you know you visualized when asleep?

As a vespa driving, coffee house owning, bean roasting, sword having individual, I approve these messages!

But also, drink your coffee any way you damn well please.

For those wondering, this literally happens in the corporate world where for whatever reason, there are either rules or laws that require other candidates be vetted even when you’re promoting from within. I’ve seen it first hand more than once.

Can confirm! xD Toss in Vans, a chain wallet, and bleached hair to complete the look.
