Carrying the Light Into the Unknown

The bags are packed, the room is empty, and the excitement you were supposed to feel has been replaced by a quiet, shaking terror. You are standing on the threshold of a new life, and instead of running toward it, you want to hide.

But listen — the light does not demand that you be brave right now. It only asks that you be honest.

There is a peace that does not look like confidence or a lack of fear. It is the stillness that remains when you stop trying to force yourself to be ready.

You do not have to conquer this anxiety tonight. You just have to let it be there, without letting it convince you that you are alone.

The same light that held you in your childhood bedroom is already waiting in the dorm room you haven't seen yet. You are not leaving the light behind to go find it somewhere else.

You are carrying it with you, into the unknown.
