The Light Loves Who You Are

The house is quiet now, and the mask you wore all day feels heavy enough to crush you. You are terrified that if you finally speak the truth about how broken you are, the people you love will realize you were never holding it together and will walk away.

But the light does not love the performance you give; it loves the person underneath the fatigue. There is a love that does not depend on your strength to stay.

You are not a burden to be dropped when the weight shows. The darkness tells you that your honesty is a threat to their love, but the light knows that your honesty is the only thing real enough to build on.

They might not run when you fall apart; they might just finally see you. You were never meant to carry the night alone.
