Longest I've gone without bathing or showering was three months...

It was a bad time in my life. I used to be super clean. I'm taking like showers at least twice a day, and brushing my teeth three times a day at the very least.

Since then, I've struggled with keeping myself clean. Those three months really f*cked up my perception of clean vs. not.

It's been hard to get myself back into the habit of daily washing.
In a good week, I might shower like twice... I think it's a mixture of lazy and also my lack of caring for how I look. I don't shave or anything either... But I feel much more confident in myself when I am hairy vs. when I shave.

I don't know why? It's weird, I guess!

I usually always have dirty hands because I take care of my plants every day.
I know some people get grossed out when you put your hands in dirt and then handle food. Or if you pick something from a garden and eat it straight away without washing it.
I grew up in the woods, so it's normal to me to eat produce without washing it off first. Here in LA, everyone's really into cleanliness, though!
