I don’t think people sing in the shower quite as much as they should any more.
I don’t see why people aren’t inclined to sing in the shower, although there’s no definitive reason why so many love to sing amid the steam and soap, I can offer up a few theories but I suspect it’s a combination of the improved vocals and the relaxation that comes with being completely alone. It’s a comfort too, to know that once you steam up the room and strip off, not only will you sound better, no one’s there to laugh if you don’t!
Sometimes I feel like singing with the birds and twirling around the woods in an apron.
Then I remember my life isn’t a fairytale and it never will be. That’s not what’s stopping me from doing it though - it’s the fact I have no apron, or spontaneous orchestra to join me.
That moment:
When you see someone who is overwhelmingly upset they are trembling, with tears welling in their eyes, when you can see they are broken.
When people are so genuinely happy you can see it in their eyes and their body is just oozing with joy and it’s tingly and lovely.
When someone is in such agony their eyes scream for mercy and their body unwillingly gives into the hurt.
When a person is so angry tensing every muscle in their body until it cramps is the only way to stop them from exploding with a hostile fury.
That moment shows that we are human.
That short sincere moment.
That moment shows what we are, truthfully.
Those moments are the only moments of truth.. Everything else is forced and superficial. Everything else is so fake.
We’re all superficial, forced and, unwise fakes.
Being alone is like is like refined sugar; excessive amounts just aren’t good.
So I try to spend the time I crave alone in crowds of complete strangers - like going to the movie theatre by myself.
I think people find it sad when they discover that I see films alone. When really it’s kind of nice, and no one can see you there all by your lonesome.
Sitting in a coffee shop by yourself can be just as comforting, sometimes. When I was first doing it though, I felt embarrassed, like I needed to pretend I was waiting for someone, like I knew what I was doing was pathetic and that I needed to justify to the strangers around me why I was there alone. But in truth, they wouldn’t care.
Now it doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
