A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I'm currently on the :(

I wish everyone a great day, even though I'm in a dark place at the moment. Please hug someone for me.

I've had some dark times. Especially when I lost my religion.

Existential crisis is depression's brother. They often travel together.

Figured out that my purpose is taking care of my people.

My people are my immediate family, friends, people in our small alternative subcommunity, pets. It's sort of like a tribe and is small enough I can wrap my head around it instead of the world and society at large. It appeals to the pagan inside my inner atheist.

Find someone or something external to yourself to care about that you can meaningfully help and take care of. I'll give my wife a hug for you.
