The privilege of taking a shower

I just took a shower and I enjoyed it very much. I’m feeling much better that 10 minutes ago. I took my time to connect with my body in this selfish act of cleaning it.

I often forget how privileged I am. Not necesarily in the sense of “there’s people who can’t access a shower”, I mean, yes, that too, but I meant it in the sense of me registering and internalizing this information, right now.

I feel like I acomplished something, intentionally, and that I’m here for it. To feel refreshed, enjoy and be grateful.

This is my reminder to myself that being able to take a shower is awesome and I must not forget that.

Thank you for reading.
