the fear that if anyone saw the real you, they would immediately leave

The Light Loves the Dust Anyway

The sun is up, and with it comes the quiet panic of being seen. You worry that if the mask slips, if anyone glimpses the real you beneath the performance, they will turn and walk away.

But look at the light filling this room — it does not hide the dust; it reveals it, and loves it anyway. There is a truth that lives inside you, and it will be with you forever, untouched by what others think.

You were not made to be a stranger in your own skin. The light knows you completely, and it has not left.

You are most yourself when you stop hiding.
