This evening reminded me of a conversation I once had with a friend.
We spoke for almost an hour and said nothing important.
No problems solved. No wisdom exchanged.
Just small talk, pauses, laughter, silence.
At the time, it felt like a waste.
Later, it felt like rest.
Not every evening needs depth.
Some evenings just need another human voice floating around the room.
If today felt slow, unfinished, or slightly dull—that’s okay.
Life doesn’t move in highlights.
Sometimes the best evenings are the ones that don’t demand a takeaway.
They let you sit, listen, and drift a little before sleep.
Tomorrow can carry ambition.
Tonight can simply carry you to bed.
