The undesirable and yet desirable coffee shop at the corner

There is this coffee shop near the hostel I staying at. They serve the worse coffee that I ever tasted, serious. But, they are also selling the best French toast that I ever had, well for a very long time.

The thing is I wouldn't, usually, come back this often for French toast alone. But some how, this coffee shop seems to work like a magnet to me. Maybe is the ambience. It had a classic coffee shop design, furnished with dark color, wooden chair and table. The floor is, however, covered with modern wood like tiles. The place is slightly lided with a old, bronze hanging lamp like you see in a sixties movie. Most of the light came from the sun, through the transparent glass wall. The other parts of the wall is cover with old certificates framed in very old frames. Then they have a baby chair made from rotan sitting underneath all those frames. Sounds like a good spot for picture? I think so.

Most of the customer of this coffee shop, are at their golden age. The rest are mostly in their early forties. I guess this is one of the reason I like it here. Not much of the fact that I can the youngest of course. Is that I don't really like noisy places. I prefer quiet and less crowded people. Where I can enjoy a good cup of coffee (in this case, French toast), without the need to risk my ear drums being exploded by the noisy surroundings. And if I want to bring my friend here, I wouldn't have to scream my lungs out during our conversation.

With the sun is out, and gentle breezes from the ceiling fan, I think this is a great place to start your day before a hectic day at work. I wouldn't name this place, but I am willing to bring you here if you are keen or curious :-)

Growing up in the arms of a emotional abuser

You have wrong me. I cried and felt angry for a while. Thinking to myself, what have I done to deserve such treatment from you. Then I thought, and thought of all kinds of harsh response the next time you try to reach out to me. I know my words have the power to hurt, if I want to.

Then I realized, you are not worth the effort. Unlike you, for someone as smart and successful as you are, you are also the person with the lowest EQ I have ever met.

I am much better at controlimg myself and not allowing my embarrassment be turned into anger. If I am wrong, I accept it. I may not accept it in a most honorable way, but I still accept it and hope to change for better. I will not deny and acted in a way the way you reacted.

I can only pray that someday, you would reliased what you have done. I pray for this day to come sooner, before you start turning all those who truly loves you away. I sincerely wish you the best.
