Soap
Written for "Invalid Item"  , prompt-free, vegan, and all-natural, written in a facility that enjoys peanuts, nuts, dairy, wheat, and meat.I was reading in the community Newsfeed and came across an entry in "Complex Numbers" called "Revisited: "Real Men Don't Worry About..."" . This gave me some thoughts on my past; memories from days gone by.I have never been into "manly" products and often just use what I know works, or what's on hand. I don't give a rat's behind if it smells like strawberries, coconuts, or an ocean breeze, as long as it works and doesn't smell foul or offensive. I do like to smell nice! In fact, I still follow some patterns that were set in my youth, for example, instead of purchasing liquid hand soap containers or refills, we reuse the pump dispensers we have by refilling them with Ivory Dish Soap. It's dye-free, has a pleasant and fresh scent, and cleans better than most of the lotion-enriched hand soaps. Growing up, we didn't have a lot and our soap consisted of a bar of Ivory. This was used for hands, body, and even our hair until I was in my teens and wanted shampoo because bar soaps leave the hair feeling stiff and gunky. I liked the smell of Prell, it was cheap, and it left my hair feeling soft. In time, I let my hair grow out long, mid-back and needed a conditioner as well. I saw a bottle of 3 in 1 body soap, shampoo, and conditioner by Old Spice and have used that ever since. Well, unless I run out, then I use whatever my wife has in the shower.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
