She doesn’t rely on anyone else to brighten her days.

She carries her own light —

soft, steady, unshakable.

People think light must be reflected by others,

that happiness is borrowed.

But she knows that illumination begins from within,

that peace comes from nurturing your own flame,

and that love for self radiates far beyond her own heart.

Even when darkness surrounds her,

even when the world seems cold,

she shines.

Her laughter becomes contagious,

her calm presence a shelter,

her hope a gentle anchor for those who are lost.

And she doesn’t dim herself

for anyone, anywhere.

Her light is hers,

and it is enough.
