There’s something oddly soothing about wandering into a quiet bookstore or library. The soft hum of an old air conditioner, the faint scent of paper that’s soaked up decades of stories, and the muffled footsteps on carpet can feel like a reset button for the mind. But if you’ve ever noticed little specks, strands, or…
Not long ago, I booked a much-needed escape at a peaceful wellness retreat nestled in the hills of Bali. The soft pastel walls, dimmed lighting, and nature-inspired textures were exactly what my nervous system needed—or so I thought. Within hours of settling into my calm cocoon, something unexpected caught my attention: strange, floating specs dancing…
Ever noticed how floaters seem to pop up more vividly when you’re sitting in a cozy, silent café, sipping your coffee, enjoying the soft hum of nothingness? You’re not alone.
