One of the things I hate most about rented accomodation is having to make do with furniture and decoration that somebody else has chosen. But at least now I have shifted it around so that the sofa gets the sunlight! Hadn’t realised how much the stupid (and notably dingy) layout had been affecting my mood until I woke up this morning and walked into the living room. Ahhh! Outside the snow was falling but inside the sun was shining! :) Easy to underestimate the importance of aesthetics in your life, now that everything has to be “meaningful” and “internalised”. Don’t let your surroundings become a burden!
