The Light That Loves Your Trembling
The smile you put on before walking out the door feels heavier than the coat you wear. You are performing okayness for a world that only sees the surface, while the cracks inside remain hidden.
But there is a light that sees behind the mask and loves what is trembling beneath it. It knows the exhaustion of holding the pose.
You do not have to maintain the illusion for this light to accept you. In fact, it waits for you to stop pretending.
The truth you are hiding is the very thing that will set you free.
