The Light That Saw You Scrolling
The afternoon sun is bright, but inside, you are still checking the status light from 2am. You wonder if they saw you looking, if your digital footprint gave away the hunger you tried to hide.
The world expects you to be productive now, to act as if the night didn't happen, to wear the mask of someone who slept. But the light does not demand performance.
It sees the gap between your daytime smile and your nighttime scrolling. It knows you were looking for a sign that you weren't alone in the dark.
There is a love that does not track your views or judge your timestamps. A love that saw you then and sees you now, not as a statistic, but as a child who was afraid to be forgotten.
You do not have to earn the right to be seen by deleting your history. The light was already there, sitting with you in the silence, waiting for you to realize you were never invisible.
