DANA
A month. It has only been a month.
I don't go to He Brews anymore. I found a new coffee shop named Side Notes next to the university. It was most times quiet, perhaps it was because of the overpriced coffee students can't afford. Usually, there would only be 4 or 5 customers a day, sometimes there were business meetings held here too. I believe it was the quiet ambience of the place that made me choose this as my new café. Here, I can think. I can reminisce. Here, I can assess what really happened and plan the next step.
The barista's name is Bryan and as a regular customer, we've already exchanged conversations. He knows my coffee already and he's close to be a friend. Of course, my personal life has been exposed to the public months ago and it already precedes me. I don't need to explain or introduce myself to anyone. They just think they do know me… and it's tiring. Here, I find peace against the chaos.
