The Light That Holds Your Secret

The morning light is bright, and sometimes it feels like a spotlight you cannot escape. You hear your name spoken in a warm room, and your body flinches before your mind can catch up.

You are convinced they are talking about the thing you hid, the secret you carry behind your smile. But the light that shines on you right now is not an interrogator.

It sees the mask, and it sees the face beneath it, and it loves both. There is nothing concealed that will not be made known, not to shame you, but to set you free.

The truth is already walking beside you, waiting for you to put the armor down. You do not have to hold the secret any longer; the light is already holding you.
