I take a second shower when I get home, removing all the deodorizers and letting my own scent flourish. It’s already subdued because of the amount of medication I’m taking, but sometimes it’s nice to just be myself. Even if I might hate this part of me with every fiber of my being. It’s a part of who I am, and I know that if I don’t give into some of its facets, it will haunt me.
