The Light Sees Behind Your Mask

The mask is heavy this morning, isn't it? You smiled when they asked how you were, and you said 'fine' while your mind was already replaying every awkward thing you said an hour ago.

The stumble. The pause.

The words that came out wrong. You feel like an imposter in your own skin, performing okayness while breaking inside.

But listen — the light sees behind the mask. It knows the truth you are trying to hide, and it does not turn away.

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be known. Your performance is not required.

The light is already there, waiting for you to stop pretending. You are not the mistake you made; you are the light that holds it.
