The Light Shines Even in Silence

The screen is dark. The silence in the room feels heavy, like a verdict.

You refresh the page, hoping for a sign that you matter, that someone needs what you have to give. But the inbox stays empty, and the quiet whispers that you are no longer needed.

In that stillness, it is easy to believe the light inside you has flickered out. But listen — the eye is the lamp of the body.

If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. The darkness you feel is not the absence of the light; it is the distortion of your sight.

You are looking for validation from the world, but the light was never dependent on an audience. It shines whether the room is full or empty.

The silence is not proof of your worthlessness. It is the space where you remember that you were loved before the first message ever arrived.
