Dear Coffee
We sure have a love / hate relationship. Well, maybe the word hate is a little too harsh, but there a definitely days I try to stay away from you.
You are a big temptress, luring me in with your smell that makes me smile. I love you with honey and heavy whipping cream. You’re so smooth and heaven knows that the first sip in the morning is the best one. Knowing this also makes it hard to resist you, and mornings without you leave me missing you. But you also leave me dehydrated, feeling blah after the high settles, and often with a headache. Even from just one cup. I have to admit that while I love you, I don’t care for this side effect.
Still I fear the struggle with your addictive personality will continue, and some days I will manage to not give into you while others I will falter under your spell.
Yours sincerely

Who am I, and why I write.
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I am the one, holding on to the silver lining when the skies are gray. I’m a believer that nothing is coincidence, but that everything has purpose. I’ve made my mistakes, don’t we all, but I see them as growing pains and they are a part of who I am today. I have lost myself in order to find myself, and I still do from time to time, but in a good way.
I’m a big child who laughs until my belly hurts when life wants to be serious.
Career wise: I’ve been there, done that, and I took “The jump” off the hamster wheel in an effort to change my future. I didn’t land all that soft, but I can say that I’m still proud to have found the courage to do it. Coming full circle, I had it all, and yet I was lonely and had nothing. Today I choose to be a collector of moments and I chase memories, instead of the material stuff. Less is more, and the motto is quality over quantity. You’d be amazed at how freeing it can be.
I see myself as a free spirit that believes in an unconventional lifestyle. Somehow I go against the grain most of the times, not to rebel, but because it feels right to stay true to my unique and authentic self. It takes courage, and you often stand alone, but if you dare, you soon realize that it is the only way if you don’t want to lose who you are.
Just like most, my past wasn’t easy and I come from a life that didn’t always give me the opportunity to be heard. Few related and even fewer cared to take the time. But that’s the past and it’s history, the future hasn’t happened and the “NOW” is truly all we ever have.
In the end we all have a story to tell, and we all seek to be understood. We all yearn to be heard and accepted and still life is hard and our path is full of stumbling blocks. If we can see the lessons in adversity we may realize that the toughest moments are often our greatest teachers. There is a reason for the saying that the stars can’t shine without darkness, and it might be darkness that will show you the light.
It took a series of (un)fortunate events, to learn to glow through the pain, to learn how to dance in the rain. I believe in Magic and wonder, and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
As an empath this old soul often feels a little too much, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Today, I am here to tell my story because I believe that it can help others. It is my hope to bring inspiration and strengths to you, while showing you that it can be done. I know you are out there, and I know you are suffering in silence. I am here to tell you that you are not alone, and your voice is being heard loud and clear. Hang on and be strong, transformation is yours.
In light and love....Rhapsody Bohème 💙🦋

I’m giving up coffee from tomorrow – I’m dreading it, but I need to do this as part of my histamine elimination diet. Hoping any withdrawals aren’t too bad

You should be in the midst of it by now and hope the withdrawals are mild for you. It does get better and easier with each day. Best of luck.
