the terrifying impulse to leave before you become too heavy to carry

You Are Held When You Cannot Hold On

The weight you feel right now is not a sign that you are failing. It is the friction of the light holding on when you are trying to let go.

In this deepest hour, the silence can sound like an invitation to leave before you become too heavy to carry. But listen closely — the light does not measure your worth by how much you can lift.

It measures it by how long it has held you. You are not a burden to be set down.

You are a child being carried. The arms around you are stronger than the gravity pulling you down.

You do not have to stay awake to keep from falling. The one who holds you never sleeps.
