Passion

My passion for coffee runs deep.
It courses through my veins.
I have a thirst not understandable to most.
I moved over 100 miles from my fiance to pursue my dream.
Ever since I've started in coffee,
I never believed I would ever work for a shop like Intelligentsia.
But it's always been my goal.
I have pushed myself to the limits to reach it.
I would not currently call my job status "professional barista,"
but I am finally paving way.
There is so much opportunity;
so much to learn;
so much to do;
so much to strive for.
Coffee is going to save the world.
& what I'm doing now, is just that.

The bike path ahead is un-mapped, bumpy, & bright,
& I'm going to ride solo for the most of it.
But, you're here in my heart, Eric.
& I do, & will love you forever.
Thanks for your support while I grab my career by the tailcoat.

I'm ready.
