Its a bit embarrassing, but seeing as you guys are going through a similar kind of thing I think you will understand. I hope you do.
Like Olivia, I feel like this is not home any more. What was once so familiar has become so unfamiliar. The sea always reminded of home, now it just brings me a wave of sadness. I see an image of the statue of liberty and I feel like it's calling out to me. Like she is waving at me.
But anyway, that isn't that embarrassing thing. Its just...coffee shops. Starbucks. Costa. Coffee Republic. Anywhere I can smell the sweet aroma of coffee beans I find myself in there, ordering myself a large lattee. It remind of america so much. But its getting worse. Yesterday I had 5 mugs of coffee. It starting to eat into my saving. I just cant stop.
Can you help?
Jess, i don't want to be the person to tell you this - I know we've barely spoken on here before, but I think this problem should be monitored. Sometimes we fall prey to our addictions, I can just see you going off the straight and narrow.
ReplyDeleteAll the best.

Thank you for your concern.
ReplyDeleteMy housemates have banned coffee from the house. It seems to be help for the moment. Im trying to restrict myself from going into town. I'm concentrating my drinking habits on tea now, to try and remind myself that the UK has its good points as well.
