i like showering. i always have. itโs so comforting to stay stagnant while the world moves over you, hot water hitting your back. i zone out in the shower because i shower in the morning. i get sleepy. i like to listen to punk music in the shower to stay awake. i like to wash my hair. i like to stretch my fingers and crack my back on the side wall. i love to run the water through my hair, let it fall flat and slick. i like the way it makes my hair curl, my face warm. i like how the world fogs around me. i think about my girlfriend and coffee and work and i feel groggy, admittedly, but hopeful. morning showers are lovely
showering, half-drying my hair, then sleeping makes my hair look good in the morning idrk how, but that's a main reason i do night showers. if i shower during the day, i like to (but don't always) do a polar plunge before a shower and the salt has the same effect. a good bath with some nice music, maybe some incense? always good to do every once in a while
A morning shower helps get the mind and body going for the day. Washes off the night funk. Night shower if you get extra funky during the day or to get extra relaxed for bed. Midday shower if your mood is low or it's just nice and sunny.
itโs so easy to forget. this is a very important thing to do at least once a week. music is the greatest thing on earth, but it can be very alienating. eavesdrop! listen to the birds!
the sweet and lacey kind like they made back in the day. itโs meditative and so very romantic. get little pearls and various kinds of glitter and paper flowers to decorate. write little handwritten notes for your dearly beloved. make an extra special valentine for your extra special someone.
Treat every interaction like an interview. You are an investigative journalist and EVERYTHING is the scoop. Get out there with a pen behind your ear and a notepad in your pocket. Ask the cashier at the grocery store where he was born or if heโs ever been in love. Nobody can ever prevent you from learning.
