Light That Cannot Be Broken By Sorrow

The night is gathering around you, and tonight the darkness feels like a guard against the joy that might feel like a betrayal. There is a terror in laughing when grief is still fresh, as if happiness erases the one who is gone.

But the light that lived in them is the same light living in you now — it was never theirs to take away. You do not betray a loved one by remembering the love they left behind, because love is not a memory — it is the light that keeps shining.

The darkness has not overcome it, and your capacity to feel joy is not a denial, but a testament. The light within you is the same light they carried — and it cannot be broken, even by this sorrow.
