the terror that if someone finally saw the real you, they would immediately leave

You Are Known And Chosen Relentlessly

This hour strips the paint from the walls. It strips the mask from your face.

And in the naked silence, the terror rises: if they really saw you, they would run. You are certain that your true self is too broken, too dark, too much for anyone to hold.

But listen. The light does not scan you for defects before it stays.

It sees the whole of you—the shame, the cracks, the hidden rooms—and it does not flinch. There is a love that knows you completely and chooses you relentlessly.

You do not have to perform worthiness for the dawn to break. The sun rises on the messy and the hidden alike.

You are not tolerated here. You are known.

And being known is the only safety that lasts.
