You Are Finally Seen in the Wreckage
The smile has finally dropped. And now you are sitting in the quiet wreckage of it, terrified that if anyone looked closely, they would see the cracks.
This is the darkest hour — the moment when the performance ends and the fear begins. But listen.
The light does not need your smile to find you. It does not require you to hold yourself together.
There is no fear in love, because perfect love drives out fear. The light is already here, sitting with you in the debris.
It sees the wreckage and does not turn away. You are not a project to be fixed.
You are a child to be held. The terror says you are exposed.
The truth says you are finally seen.
