Light in the Steam Before the Diagnosis

The water is still running, but your hands have stopped moving. Your fingers found something they cannot explain—a shadow beneath the skin, a hard truth in the soft dark.

In the steam, the mind races ahead to every ending it can imagine. The silence of the bathroom feels heavy, like the world is holding its breath.

But listen. The light that lives inside you is not afraid of what your fingers found.

It was there before this moment, and it will be there after the diagnosis, whatever it may be. You are not alone in this tiled room.

The One who counts every hair on your head is standing right beside you, closer than the fear. The darkness has not overcome the light that burns within your very cells.

You do not have to know the future to be held in the present. The fear is real, but the Love holding you is realer.
