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

i usually don’t take my showers at night, but i had a weird day today and i didn’t really leave my room much… i just got out of the shower and i feel so good n new again! reminds me that you can hit reset on your day at anytime :) also i usually play music in the shower, but my housemates are asleep rn and honestly it was a good change of pace to have a shower with no music

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

nervous like a dog i lower my head as i come to greet you. i can only actualize through your likeness, through your touch. love me, mother earth, with the gentle hand you give offer your children. love me, please, somebody love me.
nervous, kind of like a dog, i kiss your face. i’ve never been nervous around anyone before, i just was always kind of just nervous around myself. but you
but you
that’s what i always say: but you, my favorite exception
but you make me nervous. i don’t think it’s in a bad way, but rather in a natural way, like a human has ought to be nervous like a dog, cautious and slow, hesitant, but still excited to love, in order to survive. wound up but relaxed. scared but safe. anxious to give. i think that this is the right way to be. to be nervous, to be strung tight, but also to feel electric, to feel in the nerves. kiss my shoulder and i jolt, my back and i squirm, my, well my anything really, and i will lose focus. my electrochemistry, my feel of my own body, my understanding of who i am on a chemical level, is conducted by the girl i am in love with. bring me to life. please, oh please, let me live. breathe into me the words of old lovers and the grins of new faces. let me become divine through your touch. let me become.
to become a lover is to become something outside of yourself. i love vinyl and the soil, and so i will take this love inside of me from the outside world. i love stand up comedy, and so often i will tell a joke like people are watching. to love, and to internalize that love, is to be otherly: to become a mosaic. my body is almagate of record players and alligators and shitty punky bands and ottessa moshfegh novels and that is who i am.
to love is to be.
and i am scared i will never become you. not that i want to be you, but that i want to be like
it is nothing but natural to want to become like what you desire, to find her in yourself and suddenly become relieved to be the girl you are, and yet, nervous, like a dog, i greet your towering presence, scared i am not like enough, but beaming with the joy of being loved by the only individual.
