You Are Not Your Typos
The screen glows in your hand, a small rectangle holding all the weight of your morning. You stare at the word 'Sent' and feel the silence stretching out, imagining the judgment forming on the other end.
You rehearse the apology you might need to send, convinced you chose the wrong tone, the wrong phrase, the wrong everything. But the light does not scan your messages for errors.
It sees the heart that trembled before you hit send. There is a truth that lives in us and will be with us forever — a truth that knows your intention better than your fingers ever could.
The mask you wear to look perfect is heavy, but the light sees the person behind it and calls them friend. You are not your typos.
You are not your awkwardness. You are the light of the world, and a city set on a hill cannot be hidden by a single misplaced word.
