smart water

smart water: "vapor distilled water + electrolytes. purity you can taste. hydration you can feel." $1.39 for 33.8oz.

i feel like i've been noticing the dominance of a certain mindset lately.

the emotions of my life would be better with: this person, this setting, this job, these possessions, this destiny, etc. we all know the list could go on for hours.

but, we miss out when we place our hands in the fate of a reality that isn't our own.
we miss out on the breeze.
we miss out on the sun sneaking through the blinds in the most inconvenient areas.
we miss the laughter and mumbling of our study buddies.
we miss the beauty of the moment.

so, let's envision for a second: settling into life. being content with "ourself"- in whatever state we are in-discolored, tasteless, or perfectly purified.

the expensive version of us, tastes exactly the same. it may have some different characteristics, but at the end of the day it's still just water in a bottle.
