A quiet spin for a quiet evening

It was one of those evenings where the day had finally let go, but I hadn't quite figured out what to do with myself. I was just sitting there, scrolling through nothing in particular, feeling that familiar, low-energy hum. I didn't want to plan anything, just something soft to nudge me out of the stillness.

The wheel was just a whisper

I opened the app more out of habit than intention. The screen was simple, just a circle with little phrases scattered around it. It didn't ask for anything from me, which felt like a small kindness right then.My thumb hovered for a second before I gave it a gentle spin. It wasn't a big decision, just a tiny commitment to whatever came up. The wheel whirred softly, a digital sound that was oddly comforting in the quiet room.

What it landed on

It stopped on 'find a funny animal video.' A laugh escaped me before I even realized it. It was such a silly, simple thing, but it was exactly right.I didn't have to search for the 'best' one. I just tapped the first compilation that popped up. For the next few minutes, I watched cats missing jumps and dogs with their heads stuck in things.It wasn't profound. It was just a little pocket of lightness. The kind of laugh that doesn't need a setup or a punchline, just a willingness to be amused.

After the spin

The room felt a little softer afterward. The low hum was still there, but it had a different quality to it, less like waiting and more like just being.
