First Sip of Coffee

The mug is warm in your hands. The steam rises, carrying that rich, roasted promise of wakefulness. You lift it to your lips and take that first sip.

It’s more than just caffeine; it’s a ritual. A moment of pause before the chaos of the day begins. That first hit of warmth spreads through your chest, grounding you in the physical present. For a few seconds, there is nowhere else you need to be.
