The mind works differently when it is forced to be empty and alone, silent and unbothered. For most of the day, people are focused on something, like work, school or a hobby. Sometimes, though, people find themselves thinking about nothing at all, and ironically, that is when the most interesting thoughts come up. Shower thoughts are the kinds of thoughts that occur when someone is doing absolutely nothing of sheer importance or hurry, like having a shower.

They are the kinds of deep, wondering thoughts that don't really have a clear answer to them. They're like miniature epiphanies. In all honesty, they leave people with more questions than answers at all. They are peculiar and fun to think about. Because they don't occur all the time, it's nice when people share these thoughts with the world, so that everyone can think about them.
