Some people can spend as little as five minutes in the shower.

They just do what’s necessary to get clean, then get out.

Not me.

 

For as long as I can remember, I have spent an exuberant amount of time in the shower.

I stand for 20-30 minutes daily, letting the hot water wash over me.

I feel entirely relaxed, and the hot water warms me into my core in a way that nothing else can.

 

But even when I do try to get it done with as fast as possible, if I have to be somewhere on time, I still spend more time than most.

I feel incapable of rushing a shower too much, as I don’t feel entirely clean afterwards if I do.

 

Showers – my blessing and my curse.
