When the Inner Voice Fades
The day is ending, and the noise you used to know yourself by is finally quiet. But in this exhale, a new terror rises: the voice in your head is fading, replaced by the silence of a stranger.
You feel like you are disappearing. Do not let your hearts be troubled.
When the inner narrator goes silent, it is not because the light has left—it is because the performance is over. The light does not need your constant commentary to know who you are.
It knows you before you speak. Even now, in this strange quiet, you are held.
The silence is not an empty room; it is the presence of the one who called you by name before you ever learned to speak.
