This is hitting so hard right now. If I may draw a parallel… I’ve been thinking a lot about head silence and staring off into space and how rarely we do that anymore. Remember sitting at the bus stop, sans phone and just looking around and thinking? Or taking a walk before podcasts, just listening to the neighborhood sounds? We had these in-between times that could be called empty/nothing, but were really, like Ando said, a time to ponder what can be achieved. I hadn’t thought about it for physical spaces before reading this, so thank you! I’m trying to make more of these nothing times, and now spaces too.

I do. I do. It’s one of the reasons why when I walk in the morning I don’t listen to music….it is always my most productive and creative time….eventually. Just emptying out and being….nothing ❤️

I just ditched my dog destroyed couch and am happily enjoying the blank canvas. I really don’t know what I was so worried about. The right thing will come along or maybe it’s right as is.

The sofa sitch is so tough. It’s so hard to get it right so sitting with it (literally) seems smart. Great post.
