High Tea.

i'm high on tea. my caffeine fix. Since i have developed more serious detrimental side effect from coffee, i've thus switch to milk tea. Though i condemn those people who smoke, and alcoholics per se, i can now understand why they rely on these intoxicating chemicals. It's the adrenaline rush, the overflowing of endorphin the happy hormone, the dilation of the pupil that makes everything look sharp and clear. You suddenly become very alert to your surroundings, like a tiger ready to pounce. There is a feeling of endowment of a mighty super power (sometimes it even feels like its from divine intervention) that you believe you can work everything out, and thus the the overall feel-good feeling that induce an illusion that everything is going to be alright. The effect is almost magical. There's no other more apt analogy than saying that it is an elixir, a magical potion like Felix Felicis, the good luck potion in Harry Potter. It is almost too good to be true. There is an unending influx of inspirations flowing through your brain as the chemicals work their way throughout your system. You feel as though there is an aura of happiness surrounding you, rendering you untouchable, invisible.

A lot of artists depend on them for that little extra push in their creativity, for that breakthrough in their work. For alcoholics, starting with a little alcohol in their system, they become witty and well-liked by people, soon they indulge more, and immunity build up and they had to drink more to sustain the effect, and so they embark on a never-ending, self-destructive journey.

Like all beautiful things, they often bring a tragic ending. The wearing off and side effects would be ugly. There is the palpitations of heart as it work vigorously to pump the chemicals throughout your system, there might be slight tremor in the hands, and sometimes perspirations. After the effect wore off, you'd realise that everything look sharp and clear and pretty because you have that aura remember? And that little nice aura had created a rosy tint that cause you to see everything to be perfect.

So you drink again, to recreate that magical effect. And the cycle never ends....

(Forgive the ramblings of an intoxicated person. Oh and you are welcome to come near me after i have my drink.)
