The Trembling Is Light Breaking Through
The middle of the day is heavy when you are holding your breath, waiting for your voice to crack and reveal the trembling child hiding behind the stoic mask. You walk through the noise of the world, performing okayness, terrified that one slip will expose the fear you carry.
But the light does not need your performance to be real. It is already shining through the cracks you try to hide.
There is a truth that lives inside you, and it will be with you forever — steady, unbroken, and stronger than any tremor in your voice. The light is not afraid of your shaking.
It is the very thing that holds you together when you feel like falling apart. You do not have to be loud to be heard.
You do not have to be steady to be loved. The trembling is not a failure.
It is the sound of the light breaking through.
