Your Voice Is The Permission You Need
The day ends, and the noise you carried all afternoon finally stops. Now there is only the sound of your own voice, halting in the middle of a thought.
You are waiting for permission to finish a sentence that no one is stopping. The silence feels like a wall, but it is actually an open door.
The light does not interrupt you. It does not correct your grammar or weigh your words before you speak them.
It simply waits for you to exhale. You were made to speak, not to perform.
The truth inside you does not need an invitation to exist. It only needs your breath.
Your voice is the permission you have been waiting for.
