The Dawn Waits For You To Rise
The sun is up, but your mind is still stuck in yesterday's shadow. You replay the moment your voice shook, convinced the room saw the crack in your mask.
They didn't. They were too busy fighting their own battles to notice your hesitation.
The light does not demand a flawless performance; it simply waits for you to stop hiding. Thomas said there is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world—if it does not shine, it is dark.
Your stumble did not extinguish it. The dawn proves the light was there all along, waiting for you to rise.
