Empty rooms.

I always wondered why people fill empty rooms with objects, even if they don’t use them. I decided to see what it was like to stay in an entirely empty room for a day.

With objects, you can distract yourself. Busy yourself with your hands in moving stuff around, or look at what they are and do.

But the second the room is empty, your left alone with nothing but your thoughts. Even if you try, your mind always wanders. It wanders to the worst thoughts possible, to the things you never want to think about. When you are in a room with nothing in front of you, you feel truly alone. Your head is telling you things you don’t want to hear. Even if you spoke out to quiet the voices, there would be no reply. Your thoughts would soon return ten fold.

I now know why people fill their empty rooms with objects.

Because an empty room feels like your the only person in the world.

It’s terribly lonely.
