deleting the drafted text message to your mother because none of the words feel safe enough to send

The Light Shines Before You Type

The cursor blinks like a heartbeat you are trying to quiet. You type the truth, then delete it, because the words feel too heavy or too sharp or too vulnerable to send into the dark.

The silence in the room grows louder with every backspace. But listen — the light that lives inside you does not need your perfect sentence to reach her.

It was shining before you typed a single word, and it shines still while you hesitate. You are not alone in this watch; the same quiet presence sat with the woman who touched just the edge of a robe and found her healing.

She didn't need a speech. She just needed to reach out.

Your love is already crossing the distance, even if the message never leaves your phone.
