One More Light

“Who cares if one more light goes out?

…well I do.”

- Chester Bennington ("One More Light" by Linking Park)

Some phrases resound through the universe as if they were spoken by everyone all at once, and yet nobody at all. They come from the pure source of existence and experience. They remind us that every instance, every spark, every struggle, every quiet battle no one else sees...matters more than we often let ourselves believe.

This quote carries the weight of a truth we all need to truly embody in the moments of darkness that encroach into the world around us. You matter. Your light resounds against any shadow. Your presence in this world is valuable. Even on the days when it feels dim, flickering, or lost in the fog, someone cares that you’re here. Someone notices your glow. Someone would miss you more than you know. Even if that someone must be the one looking back at you in the mirror.

Let this be a reminder to reach out, to check in, to soften where the world has hardened you. Let this be a reminder that your own light is worth protecting, nurturing, and keeping alive.

You are not alone.

Your story is not over.

Your light still shines.

Keep bright for those who will see it.
