I’m not looking back at today.
Not because it was bad — but because I don’t want to analyse it.
Some evenings deserve to pass without commentary. Earlier, nights were like that. We didn’t review them. We let them fade while sitting around, doing nothing important.
Now we replay days in our heads, searching for meaning, mistakes, improvement. It’s exhausting. The day has already ended — why keep it awake inside us?
If tonight feels heavy, don’t carry explanations to bed. Let the day remain unfinished. It doesn’t need closure from you.
Turn off what you can. Leave the rest unresolved.
Tomorrow will arrive whether today makes sense or not.
That’s permission enough to rest.
