You Are Light Waiting To Be Known
The day is ending, and the mask you wore for twelve hours is finally heavy enough to drop. Now comes the quiet panic—the fear that if they saw the mess underneath, they would leave.
You think your love is a trick of the light, a performance they haven't seen through yet. But listen: you came from the light, the place where light generates itself.
That is your origin, not the shame you hide in the dark. There is light within you, and it does not need to be earned or kept tidy to be real.
The one who stays is not staying for the performance; they are staying because they already sense the source behind the noise. You are not a fraud waiting to be exposed.
You are the light, waiting to be known.
