It\u2019s been 13 days since she broke up with me. That\u2019s 15 days since I heard, \u201cI love you.\u201d  21 days without falling asleep with her in my arms. And worst of all, 28 days of not knowing what the drink I like at Starbucks is called, because my ex is the only one who remembers what I get at Starbucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time I ordered I always had to turn to her, stammering, \u201cWhat\u2019s the one I like? It\u2019s the pink thing with the ice and it has the stuff I like on top and\u2014\u201d Eventually she\u2019d cut me off realizing it\u2019d just be easier for her to tell the barista herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not my fault. Drink names, favorite foods, birthdays — they\u2019ve always been hard for me to remember. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The worst part is I\u2019ll never know why. She never even explained it to me. Why is it better to order on the app? What even are star points?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We used to do everything together. Without her I just feel so lost. I can\u2019t sleep. I can\u2019t eat. I can\u2019t accurately order the right drink size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word grande is so misleading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t do this on my own. I\u2019ve tried, but I always end up frozen and holding up the line in the Starbucks drive-thru. Cars started honking. Seconds away from breaking down, I hastily placed my order, grabbed the cup and drove off in tears. Not my best moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cried the whole way home feeling sick to my stomach. Mostly from the tall oat milk with sweet and low I ordered out of panic, but also from the realization that we were over for good. Plus it was also really warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone says it\u2019s been long enough and that I\u2019m ready to go out and try again. I just have to accept it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I may not get it right on the first try but getting hurt is just part of the process. It\u2019ll take some time but how many different drinks can they possibly have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friends dragged me out of bed for a night out to try to make me feel better. And you know what? It worked.  They made me realize my obsession with being reunited with my favorite drink at some coffee shop isn\u2019t what I should be focusing on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s truly important is that I remember my favorite drink at the bars, then get so drunk that I forget that one too.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
