The Light Never Gets Stuck
The mask feels heavy this morning, doesn't it? You worry that if you keep smiling, keep nodding, keep performing the version of yourself that everyone expects, the paint will dry and the skin underneath will fuse to the false face forever.
But listen — the light does not live in the performance. It lives in the quiet space behind your eyes, waiting for you to stop acting.
There is a truth that cannot be hidden, a light that shines even when you are trying your hardest to dim it. You are not the mask you wear for the world.
You are the light wearing the mask. And the light never gets stuck.
