Addiction

I started drinking coffee since I was three. I remember the day quite well. My mom had a cup of tea, and there was a big bag of my animal crackers (well, cookies) beside her cup on the end table. I had some of the cookies and asked for a sip of her tea. She let me try it. Ehhh, not so bad. But later, she had a coffee and let me try that. No word of a lie, it was like love at first sight (or sip in this case, haha).

Since that day, I've been drinking coffee. I love it. Its an addiction, too. If I go a day or a few days without coffee, not only do I get horrible headaches, but I get really moody, too. Coffee is like my alcohol. It makes me feel better; and I drink more coffee when I'm upset over something.

It doesn't give me energy, however. So I can drink coffee all night long (which I do) and it doesn't do anything except make me more tired. :P

I'm 16, by the way. So I've been drinking coffee every day for about... 13 years. I drink, on average, 4 cups of coffee a day (sometimes 6), so... that's, like... 18,992.6 cups of coffee.

Daaaaaammn. xD

Ah well. I'm not gonna quit any time soon. And as for stunting growth? I'm a trans* male so I'm biologically female, and my height is 5'8", just about to reach 5'9". I'm not, like... 5'2" like a lot of people said I would be. And I'm only 16, I'm still growing~ :P
