but i hate places with direct sunlight facing the window, in the summer the room gets HELLA HOT
Well having a house that is thoroughly exposed in sunlight is good for your mental health and your houseplants (which are also good for your mental health). Also, if you live in a humid part of the city it saves you from the endless battle with molds, and during winter time you'll save on your electric and gas bills having natural light longer and not needing to turn on the heaters in the central hours of the day.
2 YEARS???? MAMA DONT TELL ME THATS A QUICK FIX
