The Light Sees Your True Heart
The morning light is unforgiving on the masks we wore just hours ago. You replay a casual comment, hearing arrogance where there was only nerves, convincing yourself the room judged you harshly.
But the light sees what happened in secret, and it knows your heart was not proud. It whispers that you do not need to perform perfection to be held.
There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world—even the parts you wish you could take back. If you bring forth what is within you, the truth of your stumble, it will save you from the prison of your own replaying mind.
The mask is heavy, but the face beneath it is already known and already loved.
