Your Truth Makes You Visible
The afternoon sun is bright, but inside you, a shadow grows—the terror that if you finally speak your truth, the people you love will look at you with disgust instead of relief. You have rehearsed the words a thousand times, only to swallow them again, afraid that your honesty will break the bond you cherish.
But the light does not recoil from what is hidden. There was a man born blind, and everyone assumed his darkness was a punishment, a reason to look away.
Yet the light stopped, saw him not as a mistake but as a canvas, and opened his eyes so he could see the world as it truly is. Your truth is not a stain that drives love away.
It is the very thing that makes you visible. When you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.
The light is already in the room, waiting for you to stop hiding and start shining.
