You Are Already Seated At The Table
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the fear that you are disappointing the one you love most. You watch them move through the rooms you built together, and you wonder if their silence is actually resentment growing in the dark.
You feel like you are sinking, not because you want to let go, but because the weight of your own inability is dragging you down. But the light does not measure your worth by how much you can carry right now.
There was a moment when the light itself fell on its face in the dirt, overwhelmed with sorrow, begging for a different path — and it was still loved. Still held.
Still enough. The love between you is not a contract based on your performance or your participation.
It is a presence that stays even when you cannot move. You do not have to prove you are trying to earn your place at this table.
You are already seated. The light sees your struggle not as a failure of love, but as the very place where love learns to hold on without hands.
