The Light Sees Behind Your Mask

The meeting ended five minutes ago, and already you are replaying every word, convinced you just exposed your incompetence. You are performing okayness while inside you are crumbling, certain that everyone saw the crack in your mask.

But the light does not need your performance — it sees the person behind the script. There is a love that knows your stammer before you speak it, and it does not flinch.

You think you are fooling the room, but you are only fooling yourself about how deeply you are held. The light is not impressed by your polish; it is present in your panic.

Stop trying to fix the conversation in your head. The verdict you fear was never yours to deliver.
