"Showers" by ARK

What is it with showers that make us stay on it a bit longer?


To be more direct, what is so appealing about falling water? I have nothing against it. It just intrigues me that people take their time pondering about life while scrubbing away in front of a shower. I do have a few guesses, though.

Water is the element of life, isn't it? So maybe that means it is appropriate for us to think about our lives while the said element is raining down upon us. After reflecting, we feel even more refreshed than we were supposed to feel. Taking a bath and showering are two different things after all. For some reason, showering involves reflection.

Or maybe we stay long inside that room because we can be alone for a while. We love the privacy. And after a rough day, isn't it necessary to be alone for a while? It's sole purpose is to help us find ourselves, by staying confined in an enclosed space. Why do you think so many people sing inside the showers? They can feel alone for once. They feel free to be whoever they want to be. If only that same person who sings in the shower steps out of his comfort zone, rather than just revealing himself when left alone...maybe the world will be full of more confident individuals.

Well...Jen is nagging me to get off the computer now. I have classes early tomorrow and she's taking advantage of it. To cut this short, I shall head to the shower after this.
