save money, shorter showers
Something that always makes me feel like a new person after?
Taking a steamy, long, hot shower.
Something silly?
I almost never do it.
I’m usually in and out. Or I’ll skip it completely if I haven’t gone out. The hot water will make my hair oily, I justify to myself, or it’ll dry out my skin.
I realized it’s actually because my parents always balked at the idea of racking up the water and gas bill with a long shower. It's so ingrained in me, I feel guilty taking one. Like I shouldn’t waste that money, like I don’t deserve it.
Something I’ve had to work on.
