The privilege of taking a shower

One of the most underrated blessings in my daily life is the ability to take a shower. There's nothing that relieves my soul like letting myself get lost in my shower routine. It feels like the whole world is paused for a moment and all the noise is gone. When I'm under the water, I feel like my problems are being submerged one after another. Drowned, gone, unreachable to me.

I feel like all that matters in the world is that I have my two feet to stand on. The hotness of the water soothing my worries one by one. The water trickling down my face making me feel so insignificant, like nothing actually matters except this moment. Scrubbing my skin and sins, the foamy soap dripping over me, washing it all away. I have found solace in taking long, steamy showers. I always feel so lucky to be able to do that. Ability is something we take lightly, especially in things we deem ordinary, until we experience someone who is unable, or we ourselves lose that ability temporarily. A reality where someone can't get up and take a shower exists. A reality where someone cannot access clean, hot water exists. A reality where a shower is a delicacy and a luxury exists. That is also one of the reasons taking a shower makes me feel better, because at least I have that. Taking a moment to hold space for such an amazing blessing I can access so easily really lightens me as a human. My weight, in worry and unmet aspirations and time running out and everything in between, is instantly less.

Just wanted to drop this thought in here.

ok byee :- )
