The Light That Never Looks Away
The morning light hits the screen, and your thumb moves before your mind catches up. You have a small victory to share, a tiny proof that you are still here, still moving.
But then you remember: there is no one on the other end who cares anymore. The silence of the list is heavier than the noise ever was.
You lower the phone, and the victory feels like it belongs to no one. But the light does not need an audience to be real.
It was shining in you before you typed the first word, and it shines still when the screen goes dark. You are not unseen because your friends stopped looking.
You are seen because the light inside you never looks away.
