Some evenings do not bring closure.
They simply bring pause.
Today felt like one of those days—where the hours moved, but the mind stayed a step behind.
So instead of forcing the day to make sense, I let the evening stand still. I watched the sky fade—not dramatically, just gradually, like a curtain being lowered. Somewhere, a child laughed; somewhere, traffic slowed; somewhere, someone finally took a deep breath they had been holding since morning.
Maybe that’s all an evening needs to be:
a reminder that stopping is also part of living.
If your day was heavy, let the night carry the rest.
If your day was kind, hold it gently.
And if nothing made sense, it’s okay—
some days are meant only to pass,
not to explain.
