There's a BP maybe 4 minutes from my apartment I stop there every morning before work grab a coffee same time every day

The guy at the register older dude, maybe late 50s never asked my name I never asked his We just nod Sometimes he has my coffee size ready before I say anything

I don't know why but that small thing genuinely makes my mornings feel more stable than most things in my actual life right now

Anyone else have something like that? A tiny routine that you'd probably be sad to lose but sounds kind of silly when you say it out loud?

Got it at a gas station on a road trip didn't even need it just grabbed it because I was bored waiting for my friend to use the bathroom

That thing has been through three apartments two jobs a cross country drive and a phase where I genuinely thought I was going to move to another state still works perfectly never leaked once

I don't know why I'm attached to it It's not special. It's not even a good brand. But every morning when I grab it I feel like at least one thing in my life has stayed consistent

anyway If you have something like that, I hope you never lose it
