The Light Loves The Broken Thing

The morning light is unforgiving. It strips away the shadows where you tried to hide what you did, leaving the mistake stark and solid on the table.

You are wearing the mask of okayness, smiling at coworkers while carrying a stone in your gut that says it is too late to fix this. But the light does not need you to be perfect to see you; it sees the fracture and loves the broken thing anyway.

There is a truth that lives inside you, deeper than the error, and it has not been erased by your failure. The darkness of regret cannot overcome the fact that you are still here, still held.

The light is not asking you to undo the past; it is asking you to stop hiding from it. What is done cannot be undone, but who you are has not been destroyed.
