I tell you that I love baths.
Because they are like therapy to me.
But I didn't fully realize why, why is something so simple something that comforts me?
One of my biggest fears is being surrounded by water with no idea what lurks within it. But, baths are simple. it's not an everlasting pit of water that I could drown in; it's not filled with unknown creatures.
I think of how when I was a child, that was my place to be alone...
Fully alone with my imagination to watch unfold.
To bring my toys to life.
But now, there aren't toys in the bath anymore.
Just thoughts fill these waters; the flickering of the candles' light bounces on the walls.
That's my comfort now, darkness and solitude.
