You Are Already Full Inside
The afternoon hums with the noise of your own making, a frantic engine you built to prove you belong here. You are terrified that if the typing stops, if the producing ends, the silence will reveal you as a fraud who has nothing to offer.
But there is a rest that is not earned by exhaustion, a peace that does not require your resume. The light does not need your output to recognize its own reflection in you.
It is already inside, waiting for you to stop long enough to feel it. You are not a machine that must generate worth to survive.
You are a vessel that is already full.
