the terrifying silence of the bedroom when the performance finally stops and you realize you have nothing left to give yourself

You Do Not Have To Generate The Dawn

The house is quiet now, and the silence feels heavy enough to break you. You made it through the night, even if it feels like you arrived here with nothing left in your hands.

The performance has stopped, and the emptiness is terrifying. But listen — the light does not require you to fill the room.

It only asks that you remain. You do not have to generate a single spark to be held by the dawn.

The rising sun is already coming to guide your feet into peace, not because you earned it, but because the night has passed.
