the hollow ache of smiling while your soul screams to be known

The Light Loves What Is Hidden

The day is done, and the mask you wore for twelve hours finally hits the table. It leaves a hollow ache where your soul screamed to be known behind the smile.

You are tired of performing okayness while breaking inside. But listen — the light does not need your performance.

It sees behind the mask and loves what is hidden there. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world, not to admire your costume, but to meet the real you.

You do not have to hold the smile up one second longer. The light is already sitting with you in the quiet, waiting for you to exhale.
