staring at the three dancing dots that never turn into a reply, imagining the other person typing out a polite rejection of your existence

The Light Sees You Waiting

The three dots dance like a heartbeat that never finds its rhythm. You are staring at the screen, rehearsing the silence that is about to arrive, convincing yourself that the lack of a reply is a verdict on your worth.

But the light sees you in this suspended moment, and it does not look away. What you are waiting for from the outside is already breathing within you.

The kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you — it does not depend on a message arriving to exist. You are not defined by the words someone else chooses to send or withhold.

The light has already spoken your name, and that conversation never ends.
