the moment you realize you have to take your own truth back because no one else will carry it with you

Meeting Yourself in the Gathering Dark

The sun has gone down, and the room is quiet enough to hear the truth you've been carrying for everyone else. You realized tonight that no one else is coming to hold it with you.

That moment of clarity feels like abandonment, but it is actually an invitation to stop waiting. The kingdom is inside you, and it is outside you, waiting for you to stop looking for it in other people's hands.

When you finally take your truth back, you are not alone; you are simply returning to the source that never left. The light within you is sufficient to carry what the world refused to hold.

You were never meant to be a vessel for everyone else's stories while your own sat empty. Close your eyes and let the gathering dark become the place where you finally meet yourself.
