Light Shines Through Your Broken Mask
The morning light is unforgiving. It exposes the draft you meant to delete—the one where you admitted you have no idea what you're doing.
Now it sits there, naked and terrifying, waiting for someone to see that you are just pretending to know the way. You wear the mask of competence, but inside you are trembling that the performance will fail.
But listen—what is hidden is meant to be disclosed. The light does not wait for your perfection before it shines through you.
It shines precisely because you are broken. The truth you tried to hide is the very thing that makes you real.
And the real is where the light lives.
