-Ehm…excuse me miss, your coffee. It’s ready.

-Oh, yes, awesome! Thank you.

“‘Awesome’? Did I say ‘awesome’? I hate using this word. Awesome? why is it awesome? Is there love and gold offered in my coffee?”, she wondered. Anna always found interesting how some great energetically words compromise their value in every day banter. “I guess it’s the same in every culture. Same thing, different language.”, she thought. Still though, this energetic flush coming out of her mouth is close to what the actors do, she kept on thinking. They say things with the needed energy even though their true feelings lie on the other end of the spectrum.

There it is again, she went down the spiral of random thoughts. Acting…she has always been attracted to acting. She even took a class once. And remember how she used to set up small plays with the neighborhood kids when kid? Why did she stop? Might have been her lack of courage again.

She took the coffee in the paper cup, reminding herself once again that she needs to buy a bamboo take away cup. All the Instagram bloggers have this . That’s the trend. “Do I care for the environment or is this guilt imposed?”, she raised an eyebrow to herself. She has been questioning a lot of her decisions lately. How true are these to her own real desires and needs? Can she see herself in these?

She shook her head to put her thoughts in the closet. They are out again and it’s too early for her and for anyone for that matter. She has a long day ahead and thoughts cannot run wild. ‘Work in progress’, an Instagram post she saw the other day flashed in her mind. “Work in progress and coffee in the mornings”, she said.
