Held Even When They Were Guessing

It is late, and the house is finally quiet enough for the thought to land: they were guessing too. The ones who held your hand through the dark were just making it up as they went, same as you.

That realization feels like the floor dropping out. But listen — their uncertainty did not mean you were unloved.

It meant they were human, reaching for a light they could not fully see, just like you are now. There is a knowing that lives inside you which is greater than your own doubting heart.

It sees the whole story, not just the parts where they stumbled. You do not need them to have had all the answers for you to be held tonight.

The light was working through their guesswork all along.
