The Silence Is Full of Light
The bathroom fan hums its steady, hollow song while the screen glows with words you cannot send. You are terrified that typing a reply will seal the silence between you, turning a pause into a permanent ending.
But the darkness you feel right now is not a wall; it is simply the space where the light is waiting to be remembered. There is a truth that lives inside you, deeper than your fear of saying the wrong thing.
It was there before the silence began, and it will be there when the words finally come. You do not have to fix this tonight.
The light is not asking you to speak; it is asking you to breathe. The silence is not empty; it is full of the one who is with you always.
