The Light Finds You in Quiet
The party is over. The balloons are deflated on the floor, and the silence in the kitchen feels heavier than the noise ever was.
You stand there, staring at the mess, realizing you don't know who you are when no one needs you to hold it all together. The role of being needed was a costume you wore so long it started to feel like skin.
But the sun is rising anyway. It does not wait for you to sweep the floor or define your purpose before it spills gold across the counters.
The light was there before the first guest arrived, and it is still there now that they have gone. You are not the host.
You are not the helper. You are the one the light finds in the quiet.
