Turning the tap on that nice bed-like environment is a real dopamine hurdle. And I keep getting lost in my thoughts. Bathrooms are practically stimulation-less spaces.

Disagree. The water is perfect stimulation. The way it touches your skin, the temperature control, the rain sound, the blocking of all else. A shower is stimulatory contentment.

Hell yes it’s a sensory thing. The warm water and the water hitting my body. The white noise. Also, not wearing clothing. It’s all mesmerizing.

I don’t wanna get in but once I’m in I don’t wanna get out
