I was too tired for brightness

Dear Delyara, The lights felt rude tonight. Too white. Too awake. Too exposing. I turned lamps off one by one until the room looked closer to how I felt. Softer. Less demanding. Less interested in clarity. It helped immediately, which tells me I was more overstimulated than I realized. Sometimes care is not deep. Sometimes it is only lowering the light before the body starts hating everything.
