I didn’t finish everything today.
Some messages stayed unanswered. A thought remained half-written. One plan quietly dissolved.
Earlier, that would have bothered me.
Tonight, it doesn’t.
Evenings have taught me that unfinished things are not failures.
They’re proof that the day was lived, not managed.
I once heard someone say, “If everything is done, you probably rushed.”
That stayed with me.
So I’m letting this evening be slightly incomplete.
The room is calm. The light is low. Tomorrow exists.
Not every loose end needs tying before sleep.
Some can wait on the table, patient, unjudging.
If your day feels the same, you’re not behind.
You’re simply still in motion.
That’s enough for tonight.
