The evening is still yours

Calm · Little Light original

A difficult conversation can follow you long after the other person has left. You replay the tone, improve the answer you wish you had given, and search for a way to make the whole thing feel fair. If something needs to be addressed, write down the next useful step. Give it a time and a place. Then see if you can let the evening contain something else: a meal you enjoy, a familiar voice, the ordinary comfort of being home. You may still feel unsettled. You do not have to force that feeling away. You are simply allowed to give your attention to parts of your life that also deserve you.
