1) i don’t need to be on the lookout for bugs. not my problem 2) it almost is like replicating the feeling of the womb? 3) i am just constantly so overstimulated so like instead having to Seek stimulation (via the shower water, reaching around for my shampoo and stuff) is really nice

The constant fear of bugs is so real

is there music involved or just the sound of the water?

guychinaski truly no rhyme and reason tbh it just depends on the vibe when i posted yesterday it was pitch black and silent sans the water (bc i was super overstimulated) and other times music and candlelight are involved or even this morning i showered w the lights on like it just depends on what you’re comfortable with!!

I did it while I was stoned. 10/10 experience; but would not recommend. Took me some places.

I remember when I was 11, after I moved in to my new house we would have frequent breaker tripping, causing the power to go out. I was in the shower on one such instance, and instead of shouting for someone to flip the breaker back on, I just stood there for ~3 minutes until someone flipped it back on. Nice time

This is something I have never even remotely considered and it’s really giving me a lot to think about. I’m not sure I could do it.

jcb it definitely isn’t an every shower is a dark one moment but i eased myself into pure darkness by just turning off the overhead lights in my bathroom and only having a candle lit or a small like nightlight plugged in. and for a while just that was enough, it’s honestly pretty recent that i try to block out any and all lights when in the shower, because i do get nervous i’ll slip 🥲

i like showering. i always have. it’s 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

yes i have a compliment journal HAHA i am just so difficult on myself and whenever people compliment me i think they’re lying/just saying it to be kind but i’ve been writing them down lately in a journal i have to celebrate that even if they are Lying (which people never are btw and i’m working on believing that) they at least took the time to notice u to formulate this compliment holding space for being noticed and allowing yourself to be appreciated!

and it’s not because i feel superior to others by keeping a prized possession to myself but because i prize it enough to preserve its experience to only be mine when so much of what i do is shared?
