Only Coffee Can Hurt Like This
When reading the title of my writing, do you remember a song title? Only Love Can Hurt Like This By Paloma Faith. Somehow that song rings in my mind and it still rings in my ears when I'm enjoying a cup of coffee. That's why I decided to make a title like that that is similar to the song.
If you think about it, indeed, coffee is very similar to love which makes humans feel complicated feelings. Makes us addicted, often makes us unable to sleep, but really it makes us unable to look away from coffee.
Recently my timing has been a mess. I'm focusing on fixing my bedtime early. That's also why I've been posting less on HIVE. But, bad surprise, sometimes I dine out at night and drink coffee. Then it made me become insomniac.
In the past, before my early bedtime schedule, coffee wasn't a big deal for me. I can drink coffee at night and go to sleep without any problems (at least that's what I thought). Now, I realize that it used to be unhealthy. I shouldn't drink coffee before bed which will disturb my sleep quality.
Now everything changes. That's life. It's not always the same every day. Even so, I still can not stay away from coffee. I know, I just need to set my time not to drink coffee at certain hours that don't disturb my bedtime.
I tell myself you don't mean a thing,
And what we got, got no hold on me
But when you're not there I just crumble
I tell myself I don't care that much,
But I feel like I die 'til I feel your touch
Like the lyrics of that song, my relationship with coffee is quite complicated. Whether hate or love, it makes no difference. Sometimes I tell myself that coffee is meaningless. But then, if there is no coffee, I also feel like I'm dying until I inhale the aroma of coffee, touching the surface of the warm coffee gently with my lips.
That night I enjoyed a cup of hot coffee and a portion of fried spring rolls at Pulle Coffee. Delicious sweet hot coffee and crispy spring rolls.
A beautiful cup of coffee with a picture like a swan. Hmm, wait, that looks like a swan to me, but I don't know what was going through the barista's mind when creating this coffee art.
Only love can hurt like this
But it's the sweetest pain,
Burning hot through my veins,
Love is torture makes me more sure
Only love can hurt like this
Hot coffee burns my spirit into a lot of inspiration in my mind. From ideas that are stuck, to creative ideas that continue to be driven by warm coffee.
Coffee is indeed eternal torture. Either it causes more stress hormones, excess intake of sugar and fat if coffee is mixed with sugar and milk. Also, increased stomach acid under certain conditions. Like love, coffee that makes me sure, even though the torment is real, coffee that has ignited many of my creative ideas.
When I feel stuck even with myself, I feel like what I'm doing isn't enough. I also went looking for coffee and I'm sure it is a panacea for me.
Only love can hurt like this
Say I wouldn't care if you walked away,
But every time you're there I'm begging you to stay
If there is, it doesn't really matter. If you go, I'll look. Hate-love relationship which is no longer something strange. I think we've all felt that way, or a lot of times.
Well, continuing to brew my coffee, I smiled slightly. Life is beautiful, but often we realize that when the beauty is gone. It takes a lot of moments to make us wise and not repeat the same mistakes. We are wise to enjoy the "now" moment so as not to lose the maximum beauty.
Taking a deep breath, realizing life. This is the beauty that many changes hide. Whether it's a change in our own feelings. We are struggling with our own thoughts that are over but never over. That's life. Enjoy or we will live like soulless.
Well, I will close my post with a sentence that concludes my hate-love relationship with coffee.
"Even if coffee torments me, I will accept it as a beautiful risk for my wild thoughts."
Thank you for reading my blog and reblog if you want my blog this time worthy of reading by others.

Hello dear friend @anggreklestari good day
What you say is true, there are certain hours where one should avoid drinking coffee, since you can lose valuable sleep time, or it is difficult to fall asleep
Beautiful swan, I love the talent of the people who do these works on the cups
excellent what you have ordered, it looks exquisite
have a happy and prosperous week

Coffee is one of the ultimate temptations, and like any noteworthy experience it comes with a motto: too much of a good thing always ends badly. Haha 😆
I think that the song depicts the allure and the danger of coffee, perfectly. Your introspective thoughts are sublimely valid and thought provoking.
🤗💕❤️💕💕🤗🤗
Yeah, that's true. Too much good thing is ended with bad thing.
Have a great day 😊
I think many of us have that love-hate relationship with coffee. In my case it doesn't give me insomnia, but rather tachycardia, and that really makes me have a bad day. But guess what? I can't get rid of it completely! So I try to drink it once in a while, not too strong and with milk.
Try to take it maximum 4 hours before going to sleep. I just saw that today. Maybe I can help you.
It's always nice to see your photos, and I loved your outfit.
Cheers!
When my time schedule not earlier like now, coffee is not effected my sleep.
Yeah needed more time management then.
❤️
I enjoyed the way you wrote this. It is so true.
You are looking at your coffee in one photo like it has you hypnotized.
I rarely drink coffee in the evenings unless I want to stay up really late, but I can still drink it in early evening and sleep well. Who knows when that may change?
Me and my husband often go out in the evening lately for some works. So I cant hold my self for coffee😅
Hey Anggrek!
Your post is so honest, poetic and sweet. It's amazing to hear all your thoughts and feelings while speaking about wonderful coffee 😍❤️
Hey, Milly.
It is nice to write our feelings, right? And coffee became perfect writemate 😊
I am a big time coffee drinker but I only drink in the morning before going to work. I'm glad I have control only drinking at this time. However I have been thinking of kicking that and switching to tea. It's been quite some time I have had that thought. Time will tell, haha
Ahaha, I replace my coffee with juice. But coffee always win 😅
Coffee is some what we can't get to drink..haha..we really need it in our day to day life.
For sure. Coffee give us spirit to through the day. 😊
I have a confession to make, after reading your blog. I've been abusing caffeine for years, and by now I've been going through the motion just to feed that desire to drink coffee.
I haven't come across a combination of coffee with spring rolls. Gonna try that when I have a spring roll with me 🤤
Nevertheless, the environment of the resto is marvelous. The corak of the roof is also very interesting. Last but not least, the lady in the photo is pretty too.
The important thing, we have to good at time management. But I really bad for that 😅
In Malay, have good spring rolls, right? 😋 OH, I Miss "Teh Tarek" I enjoy it when I was at Batam City.
It's funny how coffee affects us coffeeholics. So it seems, coffee has the power to make us turn the other cheek for a good slap 😆. I lost count of how many times I've said, "tomorrow I won't drink so much coffee." I'm helpless, LOL. One good thing is that I don't put any sugar in my coffee--but still; I know.
I hope your sleep goes back to normal right away, or soon we'll see some something by Amy Winehouse on your post😁 --Love her music, BTW ❤️
Beautiful place, dear @anggreklestari. Enjoy your coffee anytime but sleep like a baby. Big hug!
Ahaha, yeah we said, tommorow Will stop drinking coffee, but we have no do it 😅
Thank you ❤️
Soon! 😂
I think this is the real effect from drinking coffee. Drinking coffee doesn't really affect my sleep that much mbak. I can sometimes drink coffee, and the not more than half an hour later already sleeping.
But lately, I am trying to reduce my coffee intake.
Anyway, I am not so sure but somehow I mostly missed your post. Does it because of the different between your posting time and my online time mbak?
I rarely posting now 😅 but I always see Hive around for curation.
As a wife, for sure a bit difficult for time management. I tried to sleep earlier and that's make me post less 😅
But I Will try to post on the morning or evening😅
Despite all the odds, still life is beautiful my friend. What a great coffee moment in that wonderful place. I hope you are well and more beautiful moments to share.

I am a coffee lover too, and I just can't last a day without coffee.
by the way, the place looks so amazing that matches your dress :)
I enjoyed the way you wrote this.Because you have complex emotions associated with love and coffee, both love and coffee can evoke a range of emotions and have the ability to hold our attention. You are beautiful and wonderful place.
@anggreklestari
So good that you still could have coffee sis @anggreklestari .. hope you enjoy both the coffee and springrolls there. Sadly I cannot have coffee due to my gastric :'
I also love to drink coffee but I guess I should drink it in moderation to avoid palpitation and sleeping disorders as well. Sometimes it's hard to refuse to drink coffee especially it's our habit of drinking it.
The place is quite cool not to drink coffee😊
