I have always loved the aroma of freshly brewed coffee but I never liked the taste. Not one bit. I'd force myself to drink it and end up feeling nauseous half way through. I felt offended even if someone just mildly suggested I have some...."I knew you never wished me well." is what I would be telling the person in my head. At work we always had two options: Tea or Coffee and if there was no tea, I'd go with nothing and slowly starve lol I have always loved tea. Whether it is freezing cold or scorching hot, I love me some tea. This love of tea angered my sister's when I was younger as I would wake up every day at 5a.m with a huge hunger/longing for tea and if tea was not by my bedside, I would cry bloody murder till my Dad woke up one my sisters to make me that cup. It took me a while but I grew out of it - thank God for older siblings :)
When I started work, I was brought into a new world of coffee. My new employers loved it, not the instant coffee, the one you brew lol (does that make sense? oh well). The aroma was just so amazing until one time when the Messenger gave me a cup. Now I don't take hot beverages, I wait for them to cool down because I love my tongue and its better that way. I will even add an ice block when I'm home - yes I do realise its mostly children who do that but uum I am somebody's child and besides who made it a rule to have tea served and drank hot?? Anyway, I waited for the cup to cool down and took one huge sip of the liquid which I assumed was tea but to my dismay found it to be coffee. It wasn't so bad so I continued drinking it.
Nausea starting settling in on me and i just knew it was the coffee. Later that afternoon and the rest of that week, more coffee and more nausea but since the Messenger and I were on good terms, I told him about the effect Coffee had on me and that I wasn't a huge fan, he just laughed at me and drowned me in cups of tea after that smh.

Coffee is not so bad. Even better with some milk in it.
