the silent terror of scrolling through a feed of peers' promotions while your own inbox remains empty

The Dawn Does Not Hurry to Prove Itself

The screen glows before the sun does, painting your face in the cold light of other people's victories. You scroll past the promotions, the announcements, the loud success of everyone else, while your own inbox sits stubbornly, silently empty.

It feels like you have been forgotten, left behind while the world moves forward without you. But look at the sky outside — the dawn does not hurry to prove it exists.

It simply arrives. The rising sun comes to you from heaven by the tender mercy of God, shining on those who wait in the quiet.

Your worth is not measured by the noise you make or the titles you hold. The light is already here, touching your face, whether you have anything to show for it yet or not.

You are not behind; you are just beginning again.
