Lines Between Living

By Friday, most people are tired of trying.

Not because they failed 

but because effort has been constant, quiet, and unseen.

This is usually where the inner voice gets sharp.

Where we start measuring the week by what didn’t happen.

Where we decide we’ll “start again” on Monday.

I’m practicing something different.

Permission.

Permission to let the week be what it was.

Permission to stop tightening my grip on meaning.

Permission to rest without narrating it as avoidance.

Journal therapy, for me, doesn’t always look like writing things down.

Sometimes it looks like not interrogating myself for a few hours.

Not asking:

• Did I do enough?

• Did it matter?

• Did anyone notice?

Just letting Friday be a soft landing

instead of another performance review.

Some weeks don’t need closure.

They need kindness.

And today, that’s enough.
