The Light Already Knows Your Truth
The house is quiet now, and the words you need to say are sitting in your throat like stones. You are terrified that if you finally speak your truth, the people you love will not see relief in your eyes, but fear.
You imagine their faces hardening, their love turning into a question you cannot answer. But listen — before you even opened your mouth, the light already knew what was inside you.
It saw you before you spoke. It knew you before you were known.
When the truth finally comes out, it will not drive them away. It will be the very thing that lets them see you for the first time.
The darkness has kept you silent, but the truth is already standing in the room, waiting for you to let it out. You do not have to protect them from who you are.
