An amazing shower thought. I like to think of human relationships socializing as an Order with general rules to understand it better, remind myself on how to "act", and prevent myself from getting hurt. Not universal like the theory of gravity, more subjective like Freudian theories. Only thought of 4 articles.
1.The Permanent Rings
The rings are a treasured possession of yours. Similar to a jade bracelet, but less uniform and easy to move. They do not match, as they're all from different sets and collections. You greatly enjoy the rest of the collection, but there's those individual pieces that you always have on you. Ideally, you own 1-6, so that you can put rings on your other hand for when the rings occasionally hurt your finger. Maybe, the shape never hurts your finger, and you wear them on every one. You'll always keep them in your waking hours, because they're that special. Those rings see you in and out. Not your literal insides, but they're as close as anything can get. They're the "real ones"
2. The Undershirt/Tank
An underrated hero. They're the first thing you put on, last thing you take off. Sometimes it feels scratchy or irritating, but that feeling leaves once you've been distracted long enough. Then you forget you even have it on. Despite any qualms you have with it, it's pretty foundational and you'd be in trouble if you never had one. This feels like family.
3. Pants/Shorts
They are a necessary evil; it is convenient and irritating. You've felt this way about all pants, forever. The feelings apply to all pants, but are weak in your main pairs. Many days, it feels fine. You enjoy the utility, carrying capacity, and color. Other days, none of that matters, cause the waist is too small or too wide, and it takes a bit of adjusting to make it tolerable. Or, the legs *feel* too long, or too short, and you have to adjust where your pants sit so that you're not too bothered even if they look fine. Or the texture is gritty. The pairs that absolutely didn't fit, the ones that needed engineering to even be worn, have been tucked away forever. You could buy another pair, one that has the right "numbers", one that shouldn't have issues, but you'll still adjust it like the rest of them. Pondering as to whether pants don't fit you, or you don't fit pants are irrelevant, for any attempts to permanently fix the issue lead you back to square one. You can't stop wearing them, because you can't leave the house without pants. They are the first thing to come off when you get home. This includes everyone who isn't listed.
4. Shoes
Very practical. They're not as fun or soothing as rings, as foundational as the undershirt, and never irritate like pants. You'll use them to help you every way possible. It's designed to do that. You've owned many, but you tend to wear the same couple of pairs until it's expired. Then you replace them, with shoes that will continue to serve until they can't. They see you slip and make life on your feet easier. This feels like supervisors and professors.
