Sometimes sadness has no reason. Days when you just want to be alone. On those days, a shower can be a little different.
It is okay to cry under the showerhead. The sound of water covers the sound of crying. The bathroom is the safest space in the world to express emotion. In a place where no one watches and no one listens, letting feelings flow.
After crying, the shower continues. As you slowly wash your entire body, notice the fragrance rising with the steam. It is okay if the sadness does not disappear. Simply, the body prepares to carry that sadness a little more lightly as you go.
For the fragrance on sad days, choose something comforting. Warm and soft, the feeling of wanting to be held. That is how the bathroom holds you.
