Shouldn’t you be able to take bathroom breaks whenever you want?

The point of a bathroom break isn’t that it’s planned. It’s what you need to go, so you are free to go. It’s kind of that simple. But it doesn’t always feel that way. Our bodies are our bodies, and there’s not a ton we can do to control them, nor should we. We shouldn’t betray our own instincts just for someone else’s sake, even if that ends up happening a lot. We force ourselves to wake up before we’d like to, to eat when we’re free and not when we’re hungry, and to stay indoors when what we really want is to run around. We betray our bodies all day long. It’s just what the world asks of us. But that can only go so far. We can only pretend we’re not human for so long until our humanity insists upon itself.
