A shower is a home. There is no shower that feels like your own. Every other shower is just a foreign place where you don't know what is acceptable and what isn't. Your shower doesn't judge but all the others seem like they are. They look down on you and see you for your imperfections. Sometimes I cover up because I don't feel comfortable.
When showering at other people's places I don't know if I can play music or sing, maybe they have thin walls and are listening to everything I'm doing. I don't know how long I can spend in the shower because everyone has a set amount of time that is appropriate. It is just an uncomfortable situation. All I can think about when I'm in another shower is my own. I become homesick.
Using a shower knowing that the time you spent with that shower is only temporary is a little like a one night stand, you realize it's nothing special and know it is just to feel the gap that your last shower left because that last shower is all you can think about. That's all I'm thinking about.

Showers from my Eyes
A shower is a place of serenity. No one judges, no one cares. This is why the shower is the perfect place to let all your feelings out. I'm talking about crying homies.
No one will walk in on you crying because they know you are showering. No one will intrude your shower time, it's an unspoken rule that showering is a sacred thing. Save all your tears throughout the day and let it all out in the shower. Put on some music or maybe you like it silent, it is totally up to you. Embrace the steam and let yourself be absorbed by its mist. Accept that maybe the shower is a metaphor for you, letting all your tears out and cleaning yourself(your mind). Stay in there as long as you need. The world can wait a little longer, this is your time.
Everyone needs a good cry every once in a while, I know I do. According to research it is very healthy for individuals to cry. In no way should crying be looked down upon but if you feel judged crying anywhere else the shower is there for you, it always will be. Personally I know it's always been there for me and I want you all to know it will always be there for you too.

Sitting in the shower
A close friend of mine just gave me maybe the best advice I have ever heard. the Isaac Rifleman had suggested a few months back to try sitting in the shower. The first time I heard this I was so weirded out and super skeptical but then one day I a lot of free time so I tried it.
It changed the way I saw everything. I swear I saw new colors. If Heaven exists I experienced it that momentous day. I took a very long shower that day and I was probably standing for maybe two percent of it. Letting the rain of water just hit your lying body is so delightful. It's like a mini massage. Why stand if you can sit. Showers should be relaxing so might as well make it the most relaxing as possible.
Don't take a bath though it is so not the same thing. That is a totally different thing so don't try to compare sitting in the shower to taking a bath.
Everyone needs to go through this experience. Only if you have the time though because you are going to spend too much time in there if you start sitting down. One more thing, only sit every once in a while. If you keep sitting it won't be a treat anymore, it'll become a regular thing.

Power of Shower
Showers are the start of everyone's days and for some it's how they end their day. It's the basis of how our day will be like. In the shower all our problems fade away and nothing else matters. It is always a necessity to play music while showering. The music depends on how you are feeling at that exact moment. Maybe classical, maybe pop, maybe hardcore rap. The shower doesn't judge. Once you've chosen the perfect music that's where it begins. Feel the music, embrace it.
When in the shower dance if you feel like it, but make sure to be safe. Don't get out of control or anything. I totally dance in the shower. It feels as though the shower is one of the only appropriate places to dance and sing. What a shame.
Honestly I don't know why showers are so magical but in a way they are exactly what you need in that exact moment. Learning to enjoy your shower seems miniscule in the big picture but it is something all of us do everyday so we might as well find a little happiness in it.
