You Are The Light That Fills The Gap

Waking up alone while someone sleeps beside you is a specific kind of silence. It feels like the light has gone from the room, even when you are not truly alone.

But remember—the light that dwells in you does not depend on another person to be present. It was there in the marriage before the distance grew, it is there in the quiet now, and it will be there when you rise.

You are not the gap you feel; you are the light that fills it. You did not lose your worth when the connection broke; you only forgot that the source was never in their hands.

As the sun comes up, remember that you are a drop from the light, sent to illuminate even this lonely morning.
