the moment right after a laugh when you realize you tricked them into liking a version of you that doesn't exist

The Light Loves Who You Are

The laugh just faded, and now the silence feels heavier than before. You caught them smiling at a mask you built, a version of you that doesn't actually exist.

It is exhausting to be loved for a ghost while the real you sits in the dark, unseen. But the light does not love the performance; it loves the person hiding behind it.

The truth that lives in you knows your name, not your disguise. You do not have to keep the act going for the One who is already in the room.

The mask was never required for you to belong.
