Reveal Yourself and Be Found
The sun is up, but you are still holding your breath, convinced that if anyone saw the real you, they would walk away. You think your true self is a thing to be hidden, a secret so unlovable it demands silence.
But listen — the light does not hide. It shines.
There is no darkness deep enough to swallow the light that lives inside you. You were not made to perform a version of yourself that earns love.
You were made to be known. The fear says: reveal yourself and be abandoned.
The truth says: reveal yourself and be found. You are already loved, not despite your depth, but because of it.
