Wait, sorry what was this post entitled? Yes. I turn into a very strange Doctor Who-esque monster/alien upon contact with water. Just kidding.
But actually, I realized the other day I am a completely different person in the shower than I am in real life. Anyone else experience this??
What I mean is for some reason, upon entering the shower and feeling the warm water engulf my poor, freezing body (the heat in our house is a perpetual 61 degrees...I spend most days wrapped in fleece) I am a different person. All of a sudden I am an incredibly proficient singer, regardless to what I sound like. Also, no judgement please, I turn into an incredibly fierce hip hop dancer. I know, weird right? My shower is the place where I dance like a freak while blasting music. Deal. It makes me happy.
The point is, that I could care less who is in the house while I am in the shower, I sing at the top of my lungs regardless of how on key I am. I dance like an idiot, because no one can see me, and I bop around the room like a five year old who doesn't know how to dance. Why don't I attack all aspects of my life with this fierceness and confidence?? I mean I do sometimes, but why don't I just stop worrying and approach everything with the reckless abandon that is hiding, right beneath my skin, waiting to be let out the next time I step into the shower.
Well, no more. I am making one of my new years resolutions to embrace my shower self, ignore my judgmental inner voice of evil self criticism (I can really do a number on my own self confidence..). IT STOPS HERE! I refuse to continue doubting, hiding and being meek. So watch out, if you see some crazed blonde-haired girl running around singing at the top of her lungs and dancing like an idiot, it's probably me.
Ok. Just kidding. But really I'm going to weld those two parts of myself together, and all I'm saying is you can't feign ignorance, I warned you all.
Baha yesss! There are so many moments when I'm in the shower doing something ridiculous (practicing my yodeling skillz, for instance, due to moments of unstoppable curiosity) when the thought "I wonder who can hear me" pops into my head. Then my next thought, without fail, is IT DOESN'T MATTER! *Cue continued yodeling* It's such a freeing place, and I also wish to claim more of that freedom out in the 'real world.' :)
