Hi fam, it Sunday evening.
Cold Bottle, a Quiet Evening, and Thoughts That Finally Slowed Down
That evening, the heat refused to rest.
The air was dry, the kind that sticks to the skin and makes silence louder.
I wasn’t celebrating anything.
I wasn’t sad either.
I just needed a pause.
I reached for a bottle of beer—not for the buzz, but for the ritual. The sound of the cap opening felt like permission to slow down.
I sat outside, watching the sky lose its color little by little, and took the first sip.
Cold. Bitter. Honest.
As I drank slowly, my thoughts did the same. The worries of the day softened. The rush to be something tomorrow gave way to gratitude for simply being here now. No noise. No pressure. Just a chair, the evening breeze, and a bottle growing lighter in my hand.
Beer doesn’t solve problems.
But sometimes, it gives them space to breathe.
And I was reminded that peace doesn’t always come from big moments. Sometimes, it arrives quietly—in a cold bottle, a warm night, and the decision to rest.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
