The Light Does Not Type Back

The morning light is harsh on the screen, exposing the gap between how you look at work and how you feel inside. You refresh the window again, watching for those three little dots that promise a connection, only to watch them vanish into silence.

Your stomach drops, not because you are unloved, but because you are waiting for a sign that has already been written in your bones. The light does not type back; it simply stays, quiet and steady, while the world demands your performance.

Thomas said if you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you — but if you keep it buried, waiting for permission to speak, it will destroy you. Stop staring at the empty space where a message should be.

The thing you are desperate to receive from them is already alive inside you, waiting to be brought forth.
