You Live in Light That Never Left
The sun is up, and the house is quiet, and you are already reaching for the noise. You are afraid that if you stop performing, if you stop making yourself useful, the room will go silent and you will be forgotten.
But listen — the light does not need your noise to exist. It is already here, filling the space whether you speak or not.
You are not the lamp that keeps the dark away; you are the one who lives in the light that never left. The silence is not empty; it is full of a presence that does not depend on your effort.
You can put the mask down. The light sees you, and it is enough.
