Known Even When You Feel Invisible
The afternoon light is flat, casting long shadows across the room where you are staring at the ceiling. In this long middle of the day, the question arrives uninvited: if you simply stopped showing up tomorrow, would anyone notice?
Would the person who sleeps beside you feel the absence, or would life just continue its quiet hum? It feels like you are invisible even when you are present.
But there is a voice that speaks into this specific silence. It says: 'You are worth more than many sparrows.' Not because of what you do, but because of who you are.
Every hair on your head is known. The light does not measure your value by your utility or your visibility.
You are held in a grip that cannot be shaken, even when you feel like a ghost in your own home. The struggle is real, but the answer is deeper: you are so known that your absence would tear the world apart.
