It&#8217;s an interesting feeling, being in the shower and just not being able to turn the water off. I always just assumed I was still tired and the water was similar to being under the covers in my pocket of tempered air and that&#8217;s why my body didn&#8217;t want to leave. But then came this poem.<\/p>\n<p>The idea for this poem surfaced when I read a post from a &#8220;science facts&#8221; Instagram account (as all great art does). It said that people who take long, hot showers are usually incredibly lonely. It claimed that the warmth of the water serves as a substitute for the warmth of human contact, such as from a loved one. When I read this, I&#8217;ll admit I was vaguely offended, but I was also intrigued. Suddenly a constant part of my life was ripped into a new perspective. I do, generally feel lonely, but are the showers really are result of that? Usually I say no, and I just think warm water feels nice on your skin, regardless of who you can cuddle up to at night. However, sometimes I wonder if the handle would be easier to turn if I just had someone waiting for me when I got out.<\/p>\n<p>-jonahso<\/p>\n<p>Jonah Sobczak<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; How many other vlogs start out with a shower scene!?
