Memorable Quotes"Caffeine doesn't give you energy. It blocks adenosine, the chemical that signals your brain that it's tired. And it triggers your adrenal system to release adrenaline and cortisol. That's why you feel alert. But it's not true energy. It's a stress response.""We start living in a buzz, basically, and we forget what stillness even feels like. Coffee culture has become identity, it's hustle fuel, it's grind set aesthetic.""I'm finding that peace, that grounded clarity - it wasn't just nice. It's necessary. We've turned a tool into a baseline, and we've taken a stimulant and made it the core of our day."Connect With David
