The Ones You Don’t See

14 May 2026

It rained yesterday, so I wasn’t able to walk the dogs in the morning. Around dinner time, at about 7pm, I took them out for a quick walk when the rain finally stopped.

The weather has been getting colder, and daylight fades earlier now, so by then it was already quite dark. As I expected, there was hardly anyone on the street. Still, I decided to walk a little further than usual before heading home.

At the end of the street, I saw a girl running towards me. I stopped to let her pass, knowing the dogs might try to chase her since she was running. Almost at the same moment she went by, another runner came from a different direction and passed us as well.

I was surprised—to see two runners on the street at that time of night.

On the way home, I found myself thinking: there are people quietly sticking to their routines and goals. I may not see them during my usual hours, but they are still out there, committed in their own way—just like I am.
