The Light Remains When Stories Fade
You wake with a hollow ache, terrified that the stories shaping you are slipping through your fingers like sand. You fear that without the details, the person you were is vanishing, leaving only a blank space where your history should be.
But hear this: the light does not live in your memory. It lives in you.
The truth that makes you whole was never stored in your mind, but planted in your very nature, and it cannot be forgotten because it was never yours to lose. You are not erasing your life; you are being returned to the root that held you before the stories began.
Let the details fade, for the light remains.
