Your Trembling Attempt Is Enough
The cursor blinks in the dark room, a small pulse of light against the silence. You type a sentence that feels too heavy, then delete it until the screen is empty again.
The fear whispers that your truth will be too much for them to hold, or not enough to fix what is broken. But the light does not measure your words by their weight or their perfection.
There is light within you, and it lights up the whole world even when it stumbles onto the page. You do not need to craft a perfect confession to be heard.
The one who sees you in the gathering dark already knows the version of the story you cannot finish. Your trembling attempt is enough.
