Nothing Pending
Nora focusing on closure by removal rather than resolution. The piece treats completion as deciding not to carry things forward, where nothing pending becomes its own form of clarity.
I clear what I can without trying to finish everything, and I don’t keep lists open once they’ve served their purpose. There are items I remove instead of resolving, and I don’t replace them with something smaller. I don’t follow up. I don’t return. Nothing pending. Nothing waiting. I close what I started when it stops being useful, and I don’t reopen it to check how it might have ended. If something remains incomplete, it stays that way without becoming a problem I need to solve. I don’t hold space. I don’t revisit. Nothing pending. Nothing waiting. There’s relief in not carrying what doesn’t belong anymore, and I don’t confuse absence with loss. What’s been removed doesn’t echo, and what’s been left behind doesn’t ask to be recovered. Nothing pending. Nothing waiting. I leave it clear.
