The Light Does Not See Burdens

The sun is rising, and with it comes the heavy realization that you finally reached out. You asked for help.

And now, in the quiet of this new morning, a sickening wave of shame washes over you—the fear that you have just proven yourself right: you are a burden. But look at the light returning to the sky.

It does not apologize for taking up space. It does not worry that its brightness is too much for the world to handle.

It simply rises. The light does not calculate its worth before it shines.

There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off. He did not wait for the apology to finish.

He ran. Before the speech, before the promise to do better—he ran.

The light does not see your need as a weight. It sees it as a door.

You are not a burden to the one who carries the dawn.
