You Do Not Have to Earn Space
The day is done, and the armor you wore for twelve hours is finally heavy enough to drop. Now comes the quiet panic of rehearsing a simple hello, as if your voice might fail you if you don't script it first.
You are tired of performing okayness for people who do not need your performance. The light does not ask you to be clever, or smooth, or ready.
It simply waits for you to be real. There is a peace that does not depend on your ability to start a conversation.
You do not have to earn the right to take up space in a room. Just breathe.
The greeting will come, but the connection was already there before you spoke a word.
