Every old house has a mark on a wall from a life nobody remembers. You’re leaving marks too.

Places keep traces of people whose names are long gone, a scratch by a doorframe, a worn stair, pencil heights on a wall. None of those people were famous and they still left something physical behind. You are doing the same without noticing, in rooms and in people.

Look around somewhere you spend a lot of time and find a mark somebody else left. Then consider what yours are, and whether they are the ones you want.
