Basic hygiene goes out the window when people are struggling emotionally. These shower conversations always seem to be about folks being “dirty” and other folks trying to prove their cleanliness. This pandemic has taken an emotional toll that many will not recover from.

If you were able to find reasons to shower and get dressed and put on make up and cook full meals that’s wonderful.
If you weren’t— I’m glad you tried.

Check on your unwashed friends and all that.

I started working out every day so I would shower every day. If I hadn’t done that, I couldn’t make any stranger on the internet any fucking promises.
Do what works for you.

For the record: I’m not saying that you shouldn’t try— I’m never saying that you shouldn’t seek help to make life easier— what I am saying is, “I shower 45 times a day” isn’t the flex you think. Nor is mocking those who don’t.
