You Are the Light Holding the Mistake
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with a single sentence you spoke hours ago. You replay it on a loop, convinced everyone heard the stumble and is silently mocking you tonight.
But the darkness you feel is not a spotlight on your failure—it is a mirror reflecting a fear that does not belong to you. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
That awkward moment cannot extinguish what is already burning inside you. You are not the mistake you are remembering.
You are the light that holds the mistake without breaking.
