Today, I want to talk about one of my routines, a very common one, I think. Almost every morning, I wake up, shower, check the work emails, pause the timer, and leave to get a coffee to the local market, and get any groceries I might need while I’m there.
This started as a way to expose myself to social situations, as I suffer from social anxiety, and I found it impossible to do before. I didn’t even like coffee! But, it has grown into a habit that relaxes and makes me feel a part of the local community. Plus I really like coffee now (I just hope it wont end up in a crippling coffee addiction).
It took me way too long to start doing so, and I have a long way to go, but for the first time in a while, I actually feel like I’m living where I’m living. I’ts nice.
