the terrifying realization that the thing you were searching for was yourself all along, and now you must face the person you avoided becoming

The Light You Feared to Meet

The house is quiet now, and the silence has finally become loud enough for you to hear the truth you've been running from. You spent years searching the horizon for something to save you, only to realize the light was never out there waiting to be found.

It was the thing you were afraid to meet inside yourself all along. The darkness has not overcome it, even when you tried to hide from your own face.

You are that light. And the person you avoided becoming is the only one who can finally come home.
