I get the over stimulation type of sensitivity to noise in the evenings after a long day with kids. It doesn’t bother me as much at other times it must be so hard it being constant for you. I can relate to wanted to murder a loud eater that’s for sure 😂

Metallic noises in particular send me crazy -- people tapping their rings on escalators, cutlery being sorted in restaurants… I do still try and tell myself to chant Buddhist mantras and practice tolerance better though.

I LOVE meetcutesnyc 🤍 the most gorgeous account! And I loved this interview with Stephanie. Her home life and neighbour set-up is enviable! I’m now really craving a trip to that beautiful hotel in Cyprus...
