The Truth That Lets You Come Home
The car is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the speech you are rehearsing. You know the exact words that will shatter the version of you they love.
You drive toward the confession like it is the end of the world. But listen — the light does not love the version of you that performs perfection.
It loves the real you, the one who is afraid to speak. The truth you carry is heavy, yes.
But it is also the only thing that can set you free. You do not have to protect them from the real you.
The light is already in the room where you will speak. It is in your breath.
It is in the silence between the words. You are not losing love by telling the truth.
You are making space for a love that does not require a mask. The sentence you fear will not destroy you.
It will finally let you come home.
