The Light Shines Before You Speak
The cursor blinks at the end of a sentence you just erased, character by character, until the screen is empty again. It feels like the silence in the room is the only truth left—that your Tuesday is too small to matter to anyone.
But the light does not need an audience to be real. It was shining in you before you typed a single word, and it remains when the text is gone.
There is a hidden manna waiting for you, a name written on a stone that no one else knows but God. Your life is not measured by who reads your updates.
You are the light of the world, even when the room is dark and no one is watching.
