I Drank the Coffee. I Still Felt Old Inside.

Every article promises a secret—drink this, eat that, live forever. So I started boiling Greek coffee every morning, hoping for a little of Ikaria’s magic. I watched the steam curl up and tried to believe it could smooth out the years I felt collecting in my body. But no matter how many antioxidants I sipped, my joints still ached. My skin still sagged in the mirror. I wanted to believe in a fix, something simple, something I could control. But the truth is, no ritual ever made me feel young or enough. Sometimes, I think we chase these habits because it’s easier than sitting with what time takes from us. #NotJustAboutTheScale #AgingAnxiety #ControlIsExhausting #Health #Diet
