Your Light Proves Darkness Did Not Win
The night is quiet enough now to hear the accusation whisper: that your peace is a betrayal, that your healing looks like forgetting them. You carry the weight of your own wholeness as if it were a crime against the ones who are still broken.
But the light does not ask you to remain small to honor the past. There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world.
If it does not shine, it is dark. Your brightness is not an erasure of their story; it is the only thing that proves the darkness did not win.
You came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord. To return to that root is not to abandon them.
It is to become the one thing you were always meant to be — a living witness that the night is not the end.
