Loved So You Can Stop Pretending
The day is done, and now the quiet brings the fear you've been running from all afternoon. You are convinced that if they truly saw the mess inside you, the real you beneath the performance, they would turn and walk away.
But listen — there is a light that has already seen every shadow you hide, and it has not moved an inch. It knows the worst of you and calls you friend.
The darkness tells you that you must be perfect to be loved, but the truth is that you are loved so you can stop pretending. You do not have to earn your place at the table by being someone else.
