Someday Is Not a Day of the Week, and I Stopped Treating It Like One
I had a list. Not written down formally but existing clearly in my mind. Things i was going to do someday. Places i was going to see. Conversations i was going to have. The book i was going to read, the skill i was going to learn, the person i was going to properly reconnect with before too much time made it strange.
The list was long. The somedays kept accumulating and none of them were converting into actual days with actual dates attached.
I noticed the list got revisited regularly, always with the same conclusion, which was that the time was not quite right yet but it would be. That the conditions would align. That once the current busy period resolved i would have the space to actually do the things on it.
The busy period did not resolve. There was always another one behind it. That is just how time works when you are not being deliberate about it. The urgent fills every available space if you let it, and someday never has enough urgency to compete.
There was a person on that list. Someone i had been meaning to visit for almost two years. Who had come up in my thoughts regularly enough that the thought itself felt like action, like thinking about calling was almost as good as calling.
They moved abroad before i made the visit. Not dramatically, not forever, just in a way that converted what would have been a two hour drive into a logistics project. The window closed without announcing it was closing.
That taught me more about someday than anything else has.
Someday is not protective. It does not hold the thing in place while you get around to it. Time moves regardless of your intention to do something with it eventually. People move. Circumstances change. Windows close quietly while you are busy waiting for the right conditions to act.
Pick one thing on your someday list. Give it a date. An actual date, not a vague intention.
Do that one thing. Then another.
Someday is not coming on its own. It only comes when you decide today is the day it starts.
