Lesson from a Black Coffee

 This morning, I was drinking my usual black coffee — no sugar, no cream, just plain and bitter. As I took a sip, I thought about how not everyone likes black coffee. Some people say it’s too strong, too harsh, or too bitter.

But that’s what I like about it. It doesn’t try to change itself for anyone. It doesn’t pretend to be sweet just to be liked. It’s just… itself.

And I realized maybe I should be like that too.
I don’t have to make myself “sweeter” just so everyone will like me. I don’t have to hide parts of who I am or try too hard to please people. The right ones will see my worth, even if I’m not everyone’s “taste.”

Sometimes, it’s okay to just be real — even if that means not everyone will stay.
Because like black coffee, being true to yourself is what makes you strong.
