Can it really be this simple?
Pre-morning coffee - things are bleak, can't figure anything out, the world looks dark and forbidding, and it seems life has passed me by.
Post-morning coffee - things look rosy, I've got it all doped out, everything is light and welcoming, and I feel like I'm swimming in the stream of life.
This seems sort of delusional. And maybe just a manifestation of caffeine addiction?
