The Softness We Forget to Keep

Evenings remind us of something we often lose during the day — softness. The world pushes, pulls, demands, edits, measures. But nightfall brings back the gentler parts of us: the unhurried thoughts, the quiet hopes, the small forgivenesses we owe ourselves. There is comfort in the way darkness gathers without asking for perfection. It simply lets us rest. As the sky dims, we remember that even strong people need softness, even brave people need pauses, and even busy hearts need a quiet corner to breathe. In that small pause, name one thing you did well today and let it live in you through the night. Make tonight a deliberate end: turn off the small anxieties, breathe slower, and keep only the calm that helps you rise kinder tomorrow.
