break your habits. test your limits.

it was slow. necessary. took time to warm each other. opening up the day. a wonderful reset to our start.

making coffee has become my most sacred ritual, and it’s almost exclusively preserved for the weekends, as i don’t have time in the mornings. the older i get however the more i rebel against my own habits, questioning “is this the best way or is it just the way i’m used to?” so bless moonbeam for sticking with what must feel like a new man every other day. but this morning felt as soothing as floating in lake michigan on a summer day. refreshed. absorbed. that good shit. that golden lifeblood.

so this morning hannah and i woke up at 5:30am to have more time together. we woke up, wrapped each other in blankets, and made breakfast & coffee together. laughed to warm our minds, listened to some volcano choir to wake up our ears, just looked & cherished each other. when i finally left the house, i realized how weird it may seem to wake up an hour before normal, just for some coffee, & eggs. but goddamn, we have the will power to do, so why not? i don’t want to be stuck in pattern of behavior just because i’m so fragile that hour of sleep will make or break me. I left our neighborhood with a smile because it’s in line with our values. our values being each other. testing, pushing each other to try new things. progressing. learning. our values of reevaluating our values.
