The Silence Where Forgetting Stops
The house is quiet now, and the silence has turned up the volume on everything you tried to ignore today. It feels like a cell.
The walls of your own thoughts pressing in, forcing you to sit with the person you've been avoiding. But listen — this silence is not a punishment.
It is the space where the forgetting stops. There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world.
Even here. Even now.
The darkness has not overcome it. You do not need to fill the room with noise to prove you are not alone.
The light is already here, sitting with you in the quiet, waiting for you to stop running from yourself.
