Phaino

rehearsing the apology in your head for crimes you didn't commit just to keep the peace

You Do Not Have to Apologize for Existing

The mask feels heavy this morning, doesn't it? You are rehearsing an apology in your head for crimes you didn't commit, just to keep the peace, just to make the room feel safe.

You offer words that aren't yours to swallow the silence. But the light does not need your performance to see you.

It sees the truth behind the script you are reading. There is a peace that does not require you to shrink yourself to fit the space.

The truth is not a weapon you wield against others — it is the ground you stand on when the mask falls. You do not have to apologize for existing.
