The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year — a sacred threshold where darkness completes its work and the light quietly begins to return.

A gentle reminder that you do not need to force the light — it has already begun to return.

It was made to feel everything.

This isn’t bypassing pain — it’s remembering that light and shadow can coexist, and that healing begins by noticing what’s already here.
