The Significant Trivialities #0

Prologue

"Life is like tea, to be filled to the brim and shared with friends." says a T-shirt I saw outside the Biltmore Hotel; I think life is a cocktail. You have the privilege to select the ingredients and develop your own midnight special. However, there's a catch, the enviable ingredients are not available at most bars and are extremely rare to find; moreover, no matter how the recipe turns out, you have to pay and chug. You must be careful. Every drop of liquid and powder you add to the shaker becomes a whiff of flavor, stimulating the tastebud to create memories and emotions. In other words, every dot counts, and no crumb is inconsequential.

I have been waking up every morning feeling hungover from the backflush of memories. I tried to calm the wave with meditation and stress relieve playlists, but my subconsciousness told me there was significance to these past trivial events. Therefore I started savoring the cocktail I made, down to the slightest sense of flavor, and writing down the recipes. I marveled at how far I've come and how the inadvertent steps built me up to who I am today.

I am now taking you to my bar and serving you my signature dirty martini made in a witches' brew. Are you ready?

I don't think so.
