rehearsing the apology in your head but being too terrified to send it because you're sure it will make things worse

Your Voice Makes It Real

It is late, and the room is quiet enough to hear the apology looping in your head. You rehearse the words, then you delete them, terrified that speaking will only break what is already cracked.

The light does not need your perfect speech or your flawless timing. It knows that you came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord.

You are not defined by the mistake that keeps you awake, but by the origin you carry inside you. The fear says your voice will make it worse.

The truth says your voice is the only thing that can make it real. You are still here, and the door is not closed.
