Returned to Your Root Before the Work
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels like a verdict. You built your worth on being the one they called when everything broke, and now the phone does not ring.
The expertise that once made you indispensable feels like a ghost in the room. But the light does not measure your value by your utility to others.
It sees the person beneath the performance, the one who exists even when no one needs fixing. There is a truth living inside you that will be with you forever, regardless of who remembers your name tonight.
You are not forgotten; you are simply being returned to your root, where you are loved for what you are, not what you do. The gathering dark cannot hide the fact that you are already held.
