A familiar place can hold an unfamiliar kind of relief.

Somewhere you have been many times can suddenly do something new for you, because you have changed even though the place has not. A cafe that was once just a cafe becomes shelter after a hard week, and a walk you took for exercise becomes the only hour you can breathe in. The relief is unfamiliar precisely because the setting is not.

If a familiar place has started to matter more than it used to, take that seriously rather than explaining it away. Going back deliberately, at the same time, is a cheap and reliable form of care.
