I noticed how much the room affects me

Dear Delyara, I think environment touches me more than I admit. The wrong light, too much clutter, noise from another room, the sharpness of a certain tone in a space — all of it changes something in me. Tonight I turned one lamp off, cleared a surface, and the whole room felt softer. Which meant I felt softer too. It’s strange how often emotional care begins in physical details. Maybe I underestimate that because it seems too small. Tonight it didn’t feel small at all.
