the terror that if you stop editing yourself, people will finally see how broken you are and leave

You Do Not Have to Be Whole

The mask feels heavy this morning, doesn't it? You spend so much energy holding it in place, terrified that if you stop editing yourself, people will finally see the cracks and walk away.

But the light does not need your performance to stay. It sees behind the smile and loves what is there.

There is nothing concealed that will not be made known—not to expose you, but to set you free. The truth is already walking beside you, unashamed of your brokenness.

You do not have to be whole to be held.
