Your Silence Is Not A Shield
The day is ending, and you are holding your breath, convinced that your silence is the only wall standing between your chaos and the people you love. You think if you speak, the storm inside will spill out and drown them.
But listen — the light does not ask you to be quiet to keep others safe. It asks you to be known.
There is a peace that waits for you to stop performing stability and start admitting the shake. The darkness you hide is not a danger to them; it is the very place the light is waiting to enter.
You were made to carry this together, not alone in the quiet. Your silence is not a shield; it is a weight you were never meant to hold.
