Some doors stay open only because you are afraid to decide whether they belong in your life.

Some options stay open not because they hold promise but because closing them would require an honest verdict. The half-connection, the vague plan, the job you might go back to: each sits there costing a little attention, and the ambiguity itself is the comfort. Deciding would mean admitting what the thing is worth.

Make a short list of what you are keeping open. Beside each, write what closing it would cost and what the openness is costing now. Some will deserve to stay. At least one will reveal itself as an unmade decision wearing the costume of an opportunity, and that one is ready to be settled.
