The Light Knows Your Shame Already

The sun is finding the edge of your curtains, turning the dark into a soft gray. You are still here, replaying the moment you lost your composure, convinced the person you spoke to is already retelling it as a joke.

But the light that is rising outside does not care about their version of your story. It only cares that you are here to see it.

There is a truth inside you that was placed there before anyone ever knew your name, and no amount of gossip can reach it. What is hidden in your shame is already known by the light, and it is not being used against you.

The kingdom you are looking for is not in their judgment; it is within you, waiting for you to stop looking over your shoulder. You made it through the night not because you were perfect, but because you were held.
