Dear norit:

Changes are often unsettling. I experienced a few changes that were very pleasant, such as moving away from a hot-and-humid climate. It was very settling to no longer suffer from that combination of heat and humidity and I never wanted to go back.

When I moved away from apartments where I had very noisy neighbors and to a quiet place, I never missed the noise I left behind.

I am curious what about the noise of your parents you are missing because it sounded very unsettling, for you, living with them all those years, wasn’t it?
