Good evening.
The second day of the year is ending.
If today felt heavier than yesterday, that's normal.
The excitement of newness fades quickly. What remains is ordinary life, asking to be lived.
That's not a disappointment. That's reality returning.
And reality is where the actual living happens.
Tonight, don't judge how the year is going. It's been two days. That's not enough data for anything.
Just let today end. Let your body rest. Let your mind stop keeping score.
Tomorrow will come with its own weight. Tonight, set this one down.
This is Evening Wind Down. Sleep well. The year will wait.
