Love Runs Before You Speak
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels heavy enough to crush you. You are holding your breath, convinced that if you speak, you will be too much, and if you stay silent, you are a burden.
But the light does not measure your worth by your volume. There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off.
He did not wait for the speech. He ran.
Before the apology, before the explanation — he ran. Your silence is not pushing love away.
It is simply the space where love is already waiting. The one who loves you is not afraid of your quiet.
Open the door. The feast is ready.
