You Are the Reason Morning Came
The sun is up, but you are still back in that moment—the split second you realized everyone else had a map you never received. You watched them move through the room like they knew the steps, while you were just memorizing the gestures of people who seemed sure.
It feels like you are the only one pretending. But listen.
The light does not require you to understand the rules before it loves you. It rose this morning without asking if you knew how to be human today.
It simply arrived. You do not have to fake your way into the dawn.
The light is not a test you pass by acting confident. It is a gift you receive by being tired.
You are not an imposter in the morning. You are the reason the morning came.
