The Light Walked With You

The sun has gone down, and the old walls that held you are no longer there to block the wind. It is a terrifying thing to stand in the open after a lifetime of being told exactly where to stand.

You feel the cold of a freedom you asked for but did not expect to be this vast. Yet the light does not require a building to shine.

It was never trapped inside the rules you left behind. The same light that guided you there is guiding you now, into the unknown.

You are not lost because you are alone; you are simply walking without a map for the first time. The darkness you feel is not an absence; it is the space where your own eyes are learning to see.

The light did not leave when you walked out the door. It walked with you.
