The Light Sees Your Unedited Truth
The cursor blinks in the empty box, waiting for you to turn the chaos of the day into a story of competence. You delete the panic, the mistakes, the moments you wanted to quit, and replace them with words that sound like you have it all together.
It is a private ritual of rewriting your soul before you hit send. But the light does not need the edited version.
It was there in the room when you stumbled, and it saw the truth you are trying to hide behind the status update. You do not have to perform success for the one who already knows your heart.
The narrative you are building is a cage, but the door is open. The light is not impressed by the polish; it is drawn to the person behind the screen who is tired of pretending.
Stop writing the lie. The truth is enough.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, Luke
