No Editing Required To Be Held
The room is quiet now, but your mind is replaying the day's deleted drafts on a loop. You laughed at a joke you didn't find funny, and now the echo of that false sound feels heavier than the silence itself.
You are taking stock of every moment you performed instead of being present. But listen — the light does not require a perfect record to stay with you.
It waits in the gathering dark, not for your polished self, but for the one who is tired of pretending. There is a version of you that exists behind the mask, known completely and loved without condition.
You do not have to edit tonight to be held.
