You Were Made to Receive, Not Carry
The house is quiet now, and your hands are shaking from holding so much for so long. You are terrified that if you finally let go, the whole world you love will crumble into dust.
But there is a strength holding you that is not your own — a light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. You were made to receive, not to carry.
The one who holds the stars does not need your grip to keep them in place. You can stop.
The light is already holding everything.
