Cuban Coffee Queen

J-man and I come here almost every morning so that he may purchase a hot cup of deep roasted cuban coffee con leche. We place the car in the rocks among the stray chickens to sip the hot beverage and indulge in the free wifi. Our adventures so far have taken us to the top of a lighthouse, coral beaches, the southernmost point, rooftops, old barracks, outside the Hemingway House, street shows, sunsets, and sunrises. We've had coconuts every day, sucked the nectar from flowers, cracked open almonds, chewed on coco plums and sugar cane, and I've even tried some unidentified and disturbing bumpy fruits. I've also peed into the ocean and subsequently dropped my phone forever into its grasp. While living a life by my own terms is exciting and lovely and I'm happier than I've ever been it's not all flowers and sunshine, there are sunburns and tears too. There are those times when every thought I have feels like it's part of an ultimate to do list and I cannot let go of anything crossing my mind. There are moments when I'm still trying to win the approval of my parents. There is the future, which paths to take, the near and the following.. There's communicating with another human that's decided to share their life with me, that I've decided to share mine with as well. The best things is the growth, the learning, the experience, the surprises, the people, the twists, and the strength gained.. Independently and as a partnership.
