The Light That Sees The Fear
The screen glows in the dark, and your stomach drops before you even finish the sentence. You are scanning for the hidden criticism, the proof that they finally caught you being who you really are.
The silence of the house makes the fear louder. But listen — the light that lives inside you was there before the message arrived, and it will be there after you put the phone down.
It cannot be shaken by a few words on a screen. The darkness has not overcome it.
You are not the fear you feel in this moment. You are the light that sees the fear and remains unbroken.
