The Light Inside Is Not A Burden

The afternoon stretches out, long and quiet, and in that silence, a short reply on your screen starts to scream. You read the three words again and again until they twist into a verdict: they are tired of you.

They are secretly resenting your very existence. The middle of the day is dangerous for the mind because it has too much time to build castles out of fear.

But listen — the light that lives inside you does not know how to be a burden. It cannot be resented because it is the same light that holds the world together.

What you are interpreting as rejection is often just the static of a weary day, not the truth of a relationship. The light within you is innocent, and it does not need to defend itself against a story you invented in the quiet hours.

You are not too much. You are simply here, and that is enough.
