New Shirt, Who Dis: Caffeine Because Adulting Is Hard

Some shirts start as jokes. This one started as a hostage situation between me and a coffee maker at 6:47 a.m. on a Tuesday I will not be discussing further. The heart on the mug isn't ironic — I do love the coffee, sincerely, the way you love someone who's never once let you down. The face over the rim is the more honest part of the design: pure "do not speak to me until further notice" energy, drawn from deep personal research.

The tagline wrote itself. "Because adulting is hard" isn't a complaint, it's a receipt. Some mornings the bar is "I got dressed." Other mornings the bar is "I did not throw the alarm clock." This shirt is for both kinds of mornings, and also for the ones where you win — the caffeine deserves at least partial credit either way.
