The Light Knows Who You Were

The house is quiet now, and the journal lies open on the table like a wound that never quite closed. You read the handwriting and feel a strange distance, as if a stranger wrote these words because you have hidden that version of yourself so well behind layers of survival.

But the light does not forget who you were before the hiding began. It saw you then, and it sees you now, and it knows the thread that connects the two.

There is a part of you that was made to be known, not concealed, and it is waiting for you to stop treating your past like a crime scene. If your heart condemns you for the person you used to be, remember this: the light is greater than your heart, and it knows everything.

You are not a stranger to yourself; you are simply waking up to the one who has been there all along.
