Some evenings bring a soft comedy of their own. You sit with a cup of tea, remembering a younger version of yourself—bold, clueless, convinced you would conquer the world before turning twenty-five. You smile, not out of regret, but out of affection for that enthusiastic fool you once were. Life didn’t go exactly as planned, yet here you are, wiser, calmer, still carrying spark enough to laugh at your own seriousness. That’s the charm of evenings: they let us loosen our grip on the day, forgive our mistakes, and welcome a little humor into the room. Nothing heavy, nothing dramatic—just a half-laugh that reminds you you’re human, and wonderfully so.
