Thermos - Travel Mug

This letter is to one of my everyday companions: Thermos Travel Mug. It witnessed some of the most significant changes of my life: a transition from a profession that meant little to me into being a full-time software developer.

Back in 2016, I was building an indie app while working at an Oil&Gas company. I had a creative yearning but did not know where it would eventually lead me. I knew I was unhappy at my job and wanted to do creative things.

So, every morning, I used to fill my mug with freshly brewed coffee and embark on a 1-hour shuttle bus ride to work. Probably disturbing my still-sleeping coworkers with the coffee smell, I slowly coded my way into tech. Eventually, I completed the app and quit the job. I still use the mug pretty much daily.
