You Do Not Have to Fix Yourself
The engine is off, but the silence is loud. You sit in the driveway, terrified that the person who left this morning is not the person allowed to walk back inside.
You have worn a mask so long it feels like skin, and now you cannot peel it off without tearing something vital. But notice — the light does not demand a performance from you before you enter.
It sees the exhaustion behind your eyes and calls it honesty. There is a version of you that is welcome exactly as you are, cracks and all.
The door is not locked against the tired, the broken, or the afraid. You do not have to fix yourself in the car.
Just turn the key, step out, and walk in as you are.

Matthew 6:22-23, Mark 5:19
