The Light Knows Your Root Not Character

The afternoon sun hits the glass, and for a second, the face staring back feels like a stranger wearing your skin. You have been playing a part so long—the competent one, the unbothered one—that the real you has gone quiet in the back of the room.

But the light does not know your character. It only knows your root.

There was a man born blind, and the world said his darkness was a punishment, a verdict on who he was. The light disagreed.

It spat on the ground, made mud, and opened eyes that had never seen. Not to fix a sinner.

To reveal a son. The mask is heavy.

The performance is exhausting. But the one who made you did not make a character.

He made a person. And he is not looking at your resume.

He is looking at your eyes. Stop trying to be the person the window expects.

Just be the one who is seen.
