a fondness for sitting in dim lighteveryday life•1d ago

if you try to create an 18th century atmosphere in your home, you might like it too. the half dark silhouettes of objects around you, the barely distinguishable details of the paintings on the wall, the shadows of ordinary items stretching across the room in ways they never do in daylight all pull you into daydreams. sometimes, after a film watched, a song listened to, or a book read under dim light comes to an end, you may find yourself sitting still for a while under the hypnotic silence that fills the room. it is beautiful. it is comforting.
