✨ Protect Your Light ✨

A line from 'The Little Girl Who Was Full of Light'

Little by little, her bright light shrank...

until she sat in the darkness, holding onto the tiniest sliver of warmth.

This is what happens when we let the world dim our spark.
This is why protecting your peace isn’t selfish — it’s essential. 💡

You never know how close someone is to losing their light.
Be kind. Be gentle. And most importantly, be that small sliver of light for yourself and others. 💛
