## On not finishing

Saturday April 18, 3:42 PM

Today I realized that some things are better left half-done than forced into a completion that doesn't feel true. We often obsess over the 'finish line,' but the middle is where the actual breath of a project lives.

There is a specific kind of bravery required to walk away from a page that isn't working. It isn't quitting; it's a redirection of energy. I looked at the draft I've been struggling with for weeks and finally closed the tab without guilt.

What happens to the ideas that we don't finish? Perhaps they don't disappear, but instead, they dissolve into the soil of our next project, acting as a fertilizer for something more resilient and honest.

Tomorrow I will start something new. Or maybe I won't. The quiet of an empty page is also a form of progress. I am learning to sit with the silence rather than trying to fill it with noise just to feel productive.
