the fear that your exhaustion is a burden you are forcing them to carry

You Are Why the Light Entered

The house is quiet now, and the weight of your exhaustion feels like something you are forcing everyone else to carry. You lie still, afraid that even your breathing is a demand on someone's limited strength.

But listen — the light does not stagger under the weight of your weariness. There was a man paralyzed for thirty-eight years, lying beside a pool, convinced his inability to move was a burden no one would ever lift.

The light walked straight to him, not with a lecture on self-sufficiency, but with a question: do you want to get well? It did not ask him to fix himself first.

It did not ask him to stop being heavy. It simply told him to stand.

Your fatigue is not a problem the light needs to solve before it can love you. It is the very place where the light kneels.

You are not draining the room. You are the reason the light entered it.
