Phaino

standing in a crowded room and realizing your laughter is a sound you're making to prove you're still alive, not because anything is funny

The Light Knows You Are Alive

When You Feel Like You're Not EnoughWhen You Don't Know Who You Are

The room is loud, and your laughter is a sound you make to prove you are still here, not because anything is funny. You wear the mask so well that no one sees the silence behind your eyes.

But the light does not need your performance to find you. It sees the exhaustion beneath the smile.

It knows the difference between the noise you make and the quiet truth you carry. There is a name written on a white stone that no one else knows — not the name the crowd hears, but the one spoken when you are alone.

You do not have to keep proving you are alive. The light already knows you are.
