# On not finishing

Saturday, April 18 · 3:42 PM

Today I realized that finishing is often a trap set by my own ego. I’ve spent the last three hours staring at a half-completed paragraph, desperate to find the perfect "ending" for a thought that probably doesn't need one.

There is a certain beauty in the incomplete. A sketch has more life than a polished oil painting. A demo recording often captures more soul than the studio master. Why do we feel the compulsive need to close every circle we draw?

Perhaps it's because an unfinished thing is still alive. It’s still changing, still capable of being something else. Once it’s finished, it’s fixed. It’s a monument to who I was at the moment I stopped, rather than a conversation with who I am becoming.

I’m going to stop here. Not because I’m done, but because I’m satisfied with the mess. There is enough here to remember the feeling, and that is all a journal really needs to do.
