Your Worth Is Not Their Reply
The screen lights up in the dark, and you check again. Seen.
But no words. The silence after the 'seen' feels like a door closing, or worse, a judgment on everything you dared to say.
You are waiting for a reply that defines your worth, and the quiet is telling you stories you do not need to believe. But listen — the light that lives inside you did not come from their response.
You came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord. Your origin is not their inbox.
Your value is not their reply. You are a drop from the light, sent here to illuminate the very darkness you are afraid of.
The silence is not a verdict. It is just the night, gathering itself before the dawn you cannot yet see.

Gospel of Thomas, Sophia of Jesus Christ
Verses
Sophia of Jesus Christ 93:5-8
