At first sight, this mug looks like it's desperately crying for a new home on some 40 year old gypsy's kitchen shelf, where her 14 cats will lick and scratch at the rim of it. I will be that gypsy. Maybe not to that extent. But something like that. Because everyone knows that I'm going to be a cat lady one day.
I love cats. And I love coffee mugs. My dream is to have my entire kitchen be filled with quirky, pastel colored coffee mugs that I can sip tea from all day long. Of course when I'm taking a break from writing my award winning novel (let's be real here, I'd be lucky to publish a comic). But now that I think about it, coffee mugs have some pretty honorable traits, kind of similar to humans. They're all different sizes. Some are short, like baby teacups. Some are tall, like my awkward giraffe self. But everyone still seems to love them. Because they're adorable. It's the best feeling when you find a cute new coffee mug. At least for me it is. They're also easy to break. They're fragile. I'm fragile. I try not to be, and I come off as a b*tch. I attempt to shade over the fact that I'm awkward in social situations, not very funny (seriously, I don't know why people laugh at my jokes), and that I get hurt easily. I don't want to ever be weak. Because the worst feeling in the world is being taken advantage of, or replaced. And I've had both done to me. But I'm sure I've done both to others. I like how mugs are always needed. I want to be a necessity to someone. And in someways I am. But I don't like the idea of being put on a shelf and taken down when it's convenient for others. Poor coffee mugs. When I collect all of you in my dream kitchen, I'll drink from every one of you evenly, just to make it fair ♡☻ But really. I never want to be put on a pedestal. It's too much stress, being someone's entire happiness. Trust me, been there done that. In the end it was better to let it go, and find someone who is as independent as you are. So thank you coffee mugs, for being cute, reliable, and fragile. All the things I am and wish to be.

Award-winning novel on the way. But only when the author realizes that some coffee mugs must be let go of when they no longer suit our growth...that the most discerning humans don't use each of their vessels fairly and squarely. Fragile is fine. Breakable, actually fine, too, but only if you can enact the fine art of Kintsugi to become brilliantly whole again. Cute, reliable, fragile -- here's to all three!

It is certainly quite convenient if you opt for a kitchen decorating theme that will certainly match with a great fixture, kitchen gadget, wall and more.
