You didn’t realize how much you needed it until you did.
You laughed until you couldn’t breathe. Until your stomach hurt and your face ached. Until there were tears and wheezes and the kind of joy that scrambles everything. And then still catching your breath you took a sip. Cold water. Crisp, refreshing, almost too sharp. It hit different. Not just because it was cold, but because you were still cracked open. In that moment, the water didn’t just hydrate you it reset you. It reminded you that you were alive, glowing, and fully present.
8:45 PM: The laughter hits its peak.
8:47 PM: You finally catch your breath.
8:48 PM: You reach for the water.
8:49 PM: The sip lands like lightning.
8:50 PM: You lean back and smile.
