The Light Holds You in the Dark

The hour is deep, and the weight you carry feels less like a passing storm and more like the shape of your own bones. You are terrified that this exhaustion is not just for tonight, but a permanent flaw that will make you unlovable when the sun rises.

But the light sees you differently than you see yourself. There is a kingdom inside you that does not run on your endurance, a truth that was present before your fatigue began and will remain after it passes.

You do not have to prove your worth by staying awake or by fixing what feels broken. The light is not waiting for you to be strong; it is already holding you in the dark.

Rest now, not because you have earned it, but because you are held.
