Day – 14 Clean slate

Explore the room you’re in as if you’re seeing it for the first time. Pretend you know nothing. What do you see? Who is the person who lives there? The room I am seeing for the first time looks to be a 14’ x 8’ room. The furniture inside the room suggest that one person lives in the room. There…
