onto today’s topic: i don’t do energy drinks 🔋 

i’ve never had an energy drink, and i have no plans to drink one either. now that i’m thinking about it, i’ve also never actually drank coffee for the effect (i like the taste though, don’t judge me).

my rationale is that i don’t want to compromise on my health or habits and take an easier way out to energize myself. i prefer listening to my body and complying with its needs, but sometimes dire times call for a caffeine surge and i get it.

i just have “autonomy” both over my body and decisions ranked very high up in my list of priorities so i will simply go to sleep if i need to — surely, no task is so urgent that i wasn’t able to designate time for it earlier. 🤨 

knowing myself, energy drinks are the start of a very slippery slope. i definitely am one to entirely adopt habits or strategies that improve my efficiency, and i know that energy drinks and caffeine probably would, so i don’t want to allow myself to even give it a shot.

i’m doing just fine without them, so i feel no need to introduce the extra caffeine into my lifestyle. ☕️
