the terror of being loved only for the version of you that you invented

The Light Waits for the Real You

The sun has gone down, and now the mask feels heavy on your face. You are terrified that if you take it off, the love will leave with it.

That they only love the invention, the performance, the version of you that never makes a mistake. But the light does not love the mask.

It came for the sick, not the well. It came for the real you, the one hiding behind the carefully constructed walls.

There is a truth living inside you that is older than the lie you tell the world. When you stop performing, you do not lose the love.

You finally make room to receive it. The night is gathering, but the real you is the one the light has been waiting for all along.

Mark 2:17, Gospel of Thomas 70
