the silent panic that your exhaustion has already taught them to hide their own pain so they don't burden you further

The Light Sits With You In The Dark

The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the fear that your own exhaustion has taught everyone else to hide their pain. You carry the weight of their silence because you taught them how to be strong for you.

But the light does not need you to be strong. It only needs you to be here.

There is a truth that lives inside you and will be with you forever — a truth that says you are not a burden, but a beloved friend. The light is not tired of your weariness.

It is not waiting for you to fix anything before it stays. It is already here, sitting in the dark with you, refusing to leave.

You do not have to hold the world up tonight.
