You have to bring it with you. Your own light. Into every room you enter. No one else is going to light a candle for you. No one else can. Don’t go around looking for your light in someone else. It isn’t there.
Stop walking around looking for something to make you whole in everything outside you. The flowers are beautiful. The night sky is beautiful. People, sometimes, are beautiful. Words are even beautiful. But the only reason they are beautiful is because of the beauty already inside you. You cannot see beauty in the world unless you have beauty inside you.
So carry your light with you. Into every space you enter. Into every conversation. Into every text. Into every, if you are lucky, kiss. And watch the world give that light back to you a hundred times over.
That’s how it works. Light does not exist in a vacuum. Everything is beautiful because of you. And the more you shine, the more the world shines back on you.
Well this just made me cry. Thank you for shining your light, always. 🩵🩵
