Details You Can Feel

Do you need to wash your hair before showing up to the Zoom call? Probably not. Chances are, no one will notice the difference except you—but you can still feel that difference, and perhaps you and your emotions count most of all.

There are the details you can see and the details you can feel. The two don’t always overlap, but what’s invisible may still contribute to the overall picture. Scented candles offer more comfort than just light. Genuine passion conveys more than mere speech. And washed hair can provide an air of confidence where, before, there was only insecurity.

It always pays to care for the details—even the ones you can’t see.
