A day in the life : Day 272

I moved through today without urgency. No alarms, no tight schedules. Just a quiet start and a slow unfolding. The kind of day where nothing demands your full attention, and that in itself becomes a kind of rest.

I did a bit of cleanup work on my system — old folders, forgotten downloads, random screenshots piling up. It’s strange how digital clutter carries the same weight as physical mess. Deleting things felt like breathing room.

Work-wise, not much happened. I opened a project I’ve been avoiding, stared at it for a while, and decided not to force it. Instead, I wrote a few notes about what still feels stuck. That helped more than pretending to push forward.

I made time for a proper meal in the afternoon. Cooked slowly, without distractions. That rhythm — chopping, stirring, waiting — gives me more peace than I usually admit. It’s one of the few routines where my mind stops racing.

I didn’t talk to anyone much today. Just a couple of short replies here and there. But the silence wasn’t heavy. Some days, quiet feels like a shield. A pause from explaining yourself to the world.

The evening is here now, and everything feels still. I didn’t accomplish anything impressive today, but I didn’t abandon myself either. I stayed close, stayed soft. And maybe that’s enough for now.
