I let something stay unfinished and still had a soft evening

Dear Delyara, That sentence carries so much progress in it for me. Something is unresolved. Still unresolved. And yet, the evening was gentle. I did not let the unfinished thing become the center of every thought. I did not chase it into tomorrow. I did not make uncertainty prove that peace was unavailable. I just let the unanswered thing remain unanswered for one night. That is not something I used to know how to do. Now I can do it sometimes. And that feels like peace.
