Sometime's It's Nice To Know Someone's Home

When I moved down to Full Sail I moved in with a roommate whom I had never met before. We are in different degree programs and we only really hang out on the rare occasion when we are both in the apartment at the same time, but there is something reassuring about walking in at night and seeing the light on in his room. Sure, he may be asleep already, but it's nice to know someone else is there. The light comes out his door and spreads onto the blinds of the window in the living room area, but dissipates quickly, not quite lighting up the whole living room/dining room/kitchen area. It's just enough light to let me see what's going on in the apartment when I walk in. The light is not natural, but is created by a lamp in his room. It's not focused anywhere particular in his room except up so as to try and light all of his room. The light that escapes out of his door is simply leakage and is in no way planned to help illuminate my steps as I come into the apartment. It's a faint light, not too warm, not too bright, but it's there and that's good enough for me.
