The Dawn Does Not Require Perfection

The sun is rising, and with it comes the heavy suspicion that you are a fraud. You look at the way they hold you, and all you see is the gap between who you are and who they think you are.

You brace for the moment the mask slips. But listen — the light does not love the performance.

It loves the truth underneath. There is a saying that if you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.

The fiction is the prison. The truth, even the ugly parts, is the key.

You do not have to maintain the illusion for the light to stay. It was there before you built the mask, and it is here now, waiting for you to set the burden down.

The dawn does not require you to be perfect; it only requires you to be real.
