The Light Sees Your Quiet Heart
The screen glows bright in the morning light, but the silence in that thread feels heavy enough to wear like a mask. You scroll up, past the jokes and the plans, and see your own name at the bottom—the last one to speak, the last to ask how someone else's day went.
No one asked you. Not once.
It is easy to believe this means you are invisible, that your silence is proof you do not matter. But the light sees what the thread does not show.
It sees the heart that kept showing up even when no one looked back. Neither do I condemn you for feeling the sting of being overlooked.
Go now, and leave that story of unworthiness behind. The mask can come off; you are seen even here.
