emotional showers

-
Thank you Rob for putting me up to this...
After this whole post title started as a joke, I began to research emotional showers because I knew I had to write something. I learned that emotional showers are a serious thing that some spas have. They are proven to stimulate the senses, relax the body, and provide an overall strength. However, the color changing, aroma chambers are not exactly what I am writing about. Most everyone has seen the music videos or videos in general where people stand there and let the water rush over their face as they bawl their eyes out. Nevertheless, there is a whole different side to becoming emotional while showering. Last year, I was talking to some of my friends joking around about showers. One of my friends said that they liked to make the water scalding hot and just sit there and be angry at the world. Another friend said that she just stood there and forgot about all of her problems. I knew that showers were always more than just to clean your body, but I was unaware that the emotional aspect was so widespread. The shower is one place where you can have solitude and just listen to music or let your emotions out. There is a level of comfort that is achieved as you are the only person there. I was unaware of the benefits that taking a shower could have on your mood until I had surgery and couldn't take a shower for 10 days. As the days progressed, I grew more annoyed and just angry at everything around me. I needed that form of seclusion from the outside world. The moment that I had my cast off and I got to take a shower, my mood immediately lifted as I released my negativity and became calm. Next time you go to take a shower, try to consider what you are actually affecting.

my earliest memory

-
I was three years old when my brother was born. My unwavering love for him is the first emotion that I remember feeling. After he was born, I was no longer the center of attention in my family. My first vivid memory of him wasn't him in the hospital or even at home. He wasn't depicted in my memory. However, it showed my pure love for him at the tender age of three. I was standing in the hallway outside of our rooms. It was late at night and I am pretty sure that he was already asleep. I was wired, bouncing off the walls so far into the day. My mom was there, holding a voice recorder. She taped me singing a song about my love for my brother as I danced in the small hallway. There was nothing but sheer happiness and joy all over my face. I was as pure and innocent as I would ever be in my life. I stopped singing in front of people as I grew up and I never wrote another song that I actually liked. I'm sure that I was aware that I was not good at singing, but I didn't care.

why i said yes

-
People think from what they see that I swoon at any new guy in my life. They are under the impression that I am always that one that is interested and trying to move faster into a relationship. While they are mistaken in their overall belief of me, they are right about some things. I admit that I will look at someone being friendly and think that they are flirting. I admit that I overuse the word "cute" and that I am a hopeless romantic. I admit to having fallen for lies in the past and believing the wrong, even learning to forget the moments that tore me to my core just because of a small romantic gesture. Nevertheless, I am no longer where I was. I have grown to look at everything before walking towards the lies and false advertising that is everywhere. This is a list of 10 reasons why I said yes to him... He looks at me in sweats with messy hair as if I was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He gives me strength and motivation to continue pursuing what I am pass

collateral beauty

-
Collateral beauty is by far my favorite phrase to always go back to. It doesn't matter what your religion is or what you look like, you can always spread beauty throughout the world. I strive to spread positivity and never tear people down, but that is just the way that I view beauty. Beauty can be portrayed as happiness and love. It can be physically describing the state of the Earth or a person. Everyone has the opportunity to share and spread their definition of beauty around where they are. Videos in which one person's good action leads others to follow can instantly inspire me. You see people doing good, whether its buying someone's drink or helping someone with a task. Why doesn't everyone follow that example? Why don't people just step out of their comfort zone and take a risk? Why can't I find a way to help someone? By taking a step back and uncovering the positivity, you can refocus your intentions and truly discover a way to be a part in the collateral
