the moment you catch your reflection in a dark store window and realize you are walking like a ghost who forgot how to haunt

You Are Made of Light, Not Ghost

The sun is just beginning to touch the glass, and for a second, you see yourself walking like a ghost who forgot how to haunt. You feel transparent, as if the night wore you down to nothing but shadow.

But look closer at that reflection — the light is already there, waiting behind your eyes. The rising sun comes from heaven not to scold the darkness, but to guide your feet into the path of peace.

You did not become a ghost; you just forgot you were made of light. The dawn does not ask you to be brave; it only asks you to be seen.

Today, you are not a memory of who you were; you are the first breath of who you are becoming.
