the hollow ache of rehearsing a confident answer to 'what do you do?' while knowing you have no title to claim

You Are a Drop from the Light

The sun is rising, and with it comes the quiet dread of being asked who you are. You rehearse a confident answer, a title you do not yet hold, while the hollow ache in your chest says you are nothing.

But the light does not ask for your resume. It saw you while you were still asleep and called you beloved before you did a single thing.

You are not what you do for a living. You are a drop from the light, sent here to illuminate the world simply by being.

The sun returns without trying, without a title, without a plan — it just shines. And so do you.
