The Light Sees Your Hidden Truth

The laughter at the table feels like a costume you put on to hide the knot in your stomach. You are performing okayness while carrying a secret that makes every smile feel like a lie.

But the light does not need your performance; it sees what is hidden in the dark and loves the truth underneath it. There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off, still covered in the filth of his mistake, and he ran before the apology could even be spoken.

He did not wait for the speech to be perfect; he ran to meet the mess. Your secret is not strong enough to keep the light out; it is already sitting beside you in the chair, waiting for you to stop pretending.

The lie is heavy, but the truth is lighter than you think.
