The Ecstasy of Coffee and French Toast, 2024

I can feel content for about 90 minutes a day
If for breakfast I have coffee and french toast
And nothing else can replicate that

A non exhaustive list of things that come close include:
Being 60% through a good book
A first date that went well
Laughing at a meme
Sunsets
Watching two movies in a row

But none of them get me as far as the coffee and french toast

There are no churches or theological explanations related to this
And I have googled it
So I am the first to discover it
And I am very brave to be the first to say it
