The Light Knows Your True Face
The mirror shows a stranger today because you have been wearing someone else's eyes. You spent years collecting their dreams until your own reflection became a house you no longer recognize.
But notice — the light does not condemn the face it finds behind the mask. It simply waits for you to stop performing long enough to see what was there before the world told you who to be.
Go home to your own heart. Tell it how much the light has done for you, not for the version of you that pleases the crowd.
The dreams in your eyes are not yours to carry anymore. Let them go.
The real you is still waiting beneath the performance, and the light knows that face better than you do.

Mark 5:19, Luke 7:47
