The Light That Hides Behind Your Mask
You put on the face that says you are fine, even while the weight inside you feels heavy enough to break you. You believe that because no one sees the pain, it must mean you are the one who is weak.
But look at the birds and the flowers—they do not spin or plan, yet they are clothed in glory without trying to prove their worth. There is a light within you that does not depend on your performance or your visible strength.
It is the same light that held the world when it was most broken. — The mask does not hide the light; it only hides you from your own sight.
You are not weak for hurting; you are human for carrying it.
