The thing about singing in the shower
is that I probably do it simply because I don’t like being trapped alone
with my thoughts in my most vulnerable state. Serious thoughts become
overwhelming when in the nude, for it’s just you and your thoughts,
bare skin against bare thoughts. If my thoughts were people, I’d have to lock them
up before taking baths.
A place where i blurt out random thoughts and ideas, and overall ramble on about them. "Aster tataricus" is a flower that i'm quite attached to (both literally and figuratively) and it means 'i won't forget you' hence the title of this blog. Started on October 24th 2013

No.10...bare thoughts
Singing in the bath has always been one
of my favorite pastimes; I can’t recall how many times my mother
had scolded Karin and I, furiously reminding us that we didn’t live
in a lodge on top of a hill, surrounded by a thick sound-proof
forest. Yet, old habits die hard, and I still break into a tune from
time to time while going through my daily ablutions. I remember
practicing Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’ until I
was word perfect during my years in grade 6. I can’t say
how embarrassed I was when my father said “Hey, that’s your shower song!” when we heard it on the radio months later.

It's funny because I've noticed that I've been doing this lately, and have slowly started to opt for turning my speakers off for shower time, just to face my greatest fear: myself. So far, the conversations have been grim, but we've agreed to disagree, and let some things go.
