The Light Does Not Apologize For Shining

The day is ending, and the armor you wore to keep from being too much is finally coming off. You are afraid that your very presence is a weight others carry, a burden they would be better off without.

But listen — the light does not apologize for taking up space. It simply shines.

There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off, still covered in the dust of his own shame. He ran.

Before the apology, before the speech — he ran. Your existence is not a problem to be solved or a load to be managed.

You are not a drain on the world's limited supply of love. You are the place where that love lives.

The fear says you are too heavy. The truth says you are held.
