Your Soul Remembering Its Original Size
The house is quiet now, and the silence is loud enough to hear the truth you've been running from all day. You made yourself small for so long, carving away your own edges just to fit into a room that was never built for you.
You thought if you shrank enough, the walls would stop pressing in. But the panic you feel tonight is not a warning that you are failing.
It is the sound of your soul remembering its original size. The light that lives inside you was never meant to be compressed.
It does not need to apologize for taking up space. It simply needs to expand.
You are not too big for this world. You are exactly the size of the love that made you.

Gospel of Thomas, Matthew
