Figuring out the shower, whether it be staying over at someoneās house, being on vacation, or going to a new gym, is always a journey. What knob gives you hot water? Do you have to pull the thing to make it come out of the spout? Do I have to open the drain? I navigate the world through a veil of perpetual cluelessness so this can easily become a ten minute ordeal. Iāve shed blood. But on the other side, a crisp refreshing feeling of cleanliness that feels earned, and a new appreciation for the machinery of home.

worst is when it's genuinely broken and you feel like a dumbass trying to figure it out
So true! Youāve made me think about it, and itās odd there are so many unintuitive designs

I have taken showering in the comfort of my own home for granted. I started going to the gym recently and I find that the only way I can remain consistent is if I go first thing in the morning. Which means I go straight to work right after. Which means I have to shower in the locker room. Which means I only shower at home when I donāt go to work directly after the gym, so Saturday and Sunday. Surely, I could just ātake another showerā if I wanted the comfort of my own shower so bad throughout the week. However, not only is that more effort and time wasted, but also, the wait until the weekend to treat myself to a home shower releases a sort of euphoric catharsis. Taking a dump naked and immediately hopping into the shower. The smell of EOS Pink Champagne body wash emanating through the steamy bathroom. Sky Ferreira shower curtain watching my bare butt as I brush my hair and perform my skin care routine. These are the sort of experiences you can only get twice a week.

My apartment with its torn up walls, slanted floors, and exposed brick walls who sometimes cough up crumbled rock onto the floor, the couch, and sometimes my bedsheets, also has free & limitless water (except not free of the environmental implication; not free in that the hot tends to be more a trickle than a stream) and a clawfoot tub.
Tonight I sat in that tub, under the hot spray, and I looked and I noticed, for the first time in years, the magnets in the shower curtains,āwhen was the last time I recognized these little guys who quite literally hold together the whole shower experience?
The simple act of noticing what I havenāt noticed since the deep recesses of my own childhood inspired this momentary radical nostalgia in me, the kind which reminds that I havenāt changed all that much since the days I played with toy ships in the bathtub, imagining dramatic scenes with wave swells and dense dark storms, since the days I shot off water from the tips of my fingers at intangible yet ever wily foes.

lately Iāve found myself going out and punching people in the back of the head, pushing groceries out of peoplesā arms, and kicking people in the stomach. itās a great reminder that you can find community with others in unconventional ways, and that what can be harmful for other people can often be really fun for me. go out and hurt someone today!

Every time i forget my water bottle at the gym I realize how much better and more energized I feel when i rip an intense cardio set without sucking down some stupid water. Especially when i havenāt drank water all day. You unlock a new level of athleticism, perseverance, and stoicism.
It makes you sick seeing the sheeple around you drinking their liquid out of their precious little Stanleys and Naglenes. Whats the matter? Baby need his baa baa? Give me a break
Stretching before working out sucks too
