You Are Expected, Not An Impostor
The key turns, but the metal feels cold and foreign in your hand, like it belongs to a door you never meant to open. That spike of panic—the fear that you are breaking into the wrong house, that you have no right to be here—is the exhaustion of the day trying to convince you that you are an impostor in your own life.
But listen: the light does not stand outside waiting for you to prove you belong. It stands at the door and knocks, asking only to come in and eat with you.
You are not breaking in; you are being invited. The panic says you are a stranger, but the silence inside says you are expected.
