The Light Sees Behind Your Mask

The day wears a mask that fits so well you forget it is there, until the sudden shock of your own reflection in a dark window reveals a stranger's eyes staring back. You have been performing okayness for hours, smiling while something inside you quietly fractures.

That disconnect between the face you show and the person you are is where the ache lives. The light does not need you to take the mask off before it can see you.

It sees behind the performance right now. There is a name written on a white stone that belongs only to you, known by no one else but the One who called you into being.

You do not have to earn the right to be real. The mask was never the truth of who you are.
