The Dawn Does Not Ask Permission

The sun is just breaking the horizon, and before your feet even touch the floor, your hand reaches for the phone. You are scanning the dark glass for evidence that the world is against you, convinced that every notification is a stone thrown at your character.

But the light of this new morning does not arrive with a list of your enemies. It arrives in silence.

It rises without checking a single screen, without needing to defend itself against the rumors of the night. You are not defined by what people say when you aren't looking.

The Father's light was already shining inside you before the first message came through, and it will still be there if no one ever speaks your name again. The dawn does not ask for permission to exist.

It simply breaks. And so can you.
