I’m increasingly convinced that life’s evolution on Earth has one major flaw: why on Earth did we leave the water? Seriously, couldn’t we have just stayed there and evolved into mermaids or jellyfish? Not only would we avoid hiccups (a story for another day), but most of our problems would be solved. Dry skin? Hydrate. Stressed? Go sweat. Headache? Have a glass of water. Life in water seems infinitely simpler—I can’t even imagine being anxious in an underwater office. It’d feel like spa day every day. Somewhere along the line, water got tragically underrated in evolution, despite being the essence of the best things in life. Your best friend? 70% water. Watermelon? 92%. A pool day? 100% water. Even your favorite cocktail? Mostly water. Honestly, we need to take water way more seriously—it’s the unsung hero of existence.
