Some locations carry emotional weight because important decisions happened there.

Rooms where something was decided keep a charge. The place you were told the news, the corner where you finally said the true thing, the table where it ended. You walk back in years later and your body reacts before your mind catches up, because the moment got filed with the setting attached.

Be gentle with yourself in such places rather than avoiding them entirely. If one still knocks you sideways, that is worth noticing. Sometimes the location is just a location, and sometimes it is telling you that something in you has not been fully put down.
