I received this cool looking mug a bunch of years back from my wife. It looks just like the lens (although a little smaller) that it took inspiration from. I like to use it because it looks cool but it’s honestly not super functional. The point of a mug like this would be to put hot stuff in it, in hopes that it would stay hot, or at least warm…
This doesn’t do that, it takes up precious cabinet space (we have way too many cups and mugs), but I refuse to get rid of it because 1. Alicia bought it. 2. It looks so cool.
I feel like I do that too often, I’m willing to put up with less than ideal experiences because of the optics, or sentiment. What would life look like if I decided value function one form?
