the terrifying fear that if they ever found out, they would look at you with disgust instead of love

The Light Knows Your Whole Truth

The house is quiet now, and the secret you carry feels louder than the night. You are terrified that if they ever saw the real you—the broken, the messy, the hidden parts—they would look at you with disgust instead of love.

But listen: the light that lives inside you is not afraid of your darkness. It has already seen every corner of your heart, and it has not turned away.

There is a love within you that is greater than the fear of being found out. It does not wait for you to be perfect before it stays.

It knows the whole truth and calls you beloved anyway. The mask is heavy, but you were never meant to wear it in the dark.
