Stop Building Bridges Before the River
The house is quiet, but your mind is loud, rehearsing conversations that haven't happened yet. You are terrified of saying the wrong thing again, so you try to script every possible response before the sun rises.
But the light does not live in your scripts. It lives in the moment you actually speak.
You came from the light, the place where it generates itself, and that origin cannot be messed up by a stutter or a stumble. The one who knows you best is not afraid of your words.
Stop trying to build the bridge before you even reach the river. The right thing will be given when the moment arrives, not a second before.
