The Crack Where the Light Enters
The room is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the echo of your own voice. You keep replaying the moment you finally asked for help, cringing at how desperate you sounded, convinced the listener now sees you as broken.
But listen closely — that crack in your voice was not a failure. It was the sound of the door opening.
There is a love that does not flinch at your need, a light that was not offended by your hunger. You did not scare anyone away by being honest about your pain.
The very thing you are ashamed of — that raw, trembling reach — is the only thing that lets the light in. You are not broken because you needed someone.
You are human. And the light is not waiting for you to be strong; it is already holding you together.
