The Light Beneath The Fatigue
The face in the mirror feels like a stranger's tonight. The eyes looking back belong to a mother, worn thin by the endless giving, and the woman you knew seems lost beneath the fatigue.
You are not a stranger to yourself — you have simply forgotten where you came from. You came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord.
That origin has not changed, even if your reflection has. The light within you is not defined by the lines on your face or the weight of your duties.
It is the thing that lights up the whole world, even when you cannot see it yourself. You are still that light, even in this dark hour.
