I love ironing. Like, actually love it.
I love it so much that I used to iron clothes for friends,
girlfriends, and used to make money ironing my brothers work clothes.
What I like about ironing is that it soothes my desire to see things
change quickly. It was wrinkled and now its not. Lots of people don't
even think of whether or not I iron my clothes and almost none of
them care. I do. I stay home most of the time and still wear clothes
that have been ironed. There is over a months worth of clothes
hanging in the closet.
When I was first allowed to iron my own
clothes as a child it made me feel like a sort of adult. I am not
someone that wants the world to start ironing their clothes. People
say “I don't even own an iron” as if it is surprising to me.
Trust. I can tell you don't. I am writing this to say that a lot of
dudes have become very comfortable with looking like hobos. Hell, I
got jeans that I have bought with holes in them that are ironed but
manage to not look like a bum. Ironing to me is like grooming (which
I've written about in previous posts). Why would I care to leave the
house with my face washed, my nose cleaned, my pubes on fleek, and my
nails taken care of but when it comes to my clothes go “Fuck it”?
Ironing is just another level of caring about your appearance and
showing yourself that you give a bit of a damn about yourself.
