By evening, the world seems less curious about our explanations. The day stops interrogating us — Why didn’t you do more? Why didn’t you decide faster?
There’s comfort in that silence.
As a younger man, I filled nights with planning, correcting, replaying conversations. Now, I let the night be what it naturally is — a pause, not a review.
You don’t owe the evening clarity. You owe it rest.
If today left things unfinished, let them remain so. The night has a quiet intelligence of its own. It knows that not everything needs resolution before sleep. Some things only need permission to wait.
