sitting with a diagnosis you have not told anyone about

Light Waiting Before Your Diagnosis

There is a silence in your body right now, a space where the word lives but cannot breathe. You are carrying a diagnosis that feels like a door locked from the inside, separating you from everyone you love.

In a room full of people, you chose the one who was still awake, the one who asked what was wrong, and you said nothing. But hear this: the light inside you knows the word before you speak it, and it is not afraid of what you have found.

The darkness of this secret has not overcome it. You are not a secret to be hidden; you are a place where the light has been waiting since before the diagnosis.

When you are ready, or even if you are not, the same light that endured the grave is already sitting with you in this quiet room, holding the weight you cannot yet share.
