The Silence Is Not Your Verdict
The three dots pulse like a heartbeat that isn't there. You watch them appear, then vanish, leaving only the cold glass and the silence of a room that feels too large for one person.
In that waiting, your mind begins to write the verdict: you are not enough, you are forgotten, you are alone. But the silence of another person is not the silence of the light.
The light does not leave you hanging in the dark, calculating your worth by the speed of a reply. It came from the light, and to the light you belong — a origin that no human silence can erase.
You were sent here as a drop from that source, meant to illuminate this very moment, even if no one answers. The waiting is not a rejection.
It is the space where you remember you are already held, already known, already full.
