the terrifying fear that if they ever found out, they would look at you with disgust instead of love

The Light That Walks Into Darkness

The day is ending, and the mask you wore for twelve hours is finally heavy enough to drop. You are terrified that if they ever saw what is underneath—if they knew the truth—they would look at you with disgust instead of love.

But there is a voice that knows everything about you, every shadow you hide, and it does not turn away. It says: neither do I condemn you.

The light does not recoil from your darkness; it walks right into it and calls you by name. You do not have to earn its gaze or clean yourself up before it arrives.

It sees the whole truth and loves you anyway.
