in response to Di’s Daily Prompt: https://wp.me/p3RSgb-wtc

Sometimes it starts as a jest.

A light comment,
a passing laugh—something said
to soften
the weight
of what we don’t quite want to face.

We joke.
We shrug.
We pretend
it doesn’t matter that much.

But underneath…something shifts.

There comes a moment
where you can’t stay
in the lightness anymore.

Where something inside asks you to jump.

Not recklessly—
but honestly.

To step out
of the safe space
of laughter
and into something more real.

Because truth
has a way
of calling you forward,
even when you’d rather stay where it feels easier.

And somewhere along the way,
we all become
our own jury.

We weigh what
we know.
We sit with what
we feel.
We listen—
not to the noise around us,
but to the quiet voice within that refuses to be dismissed.

No performance.
No disguise.

Just clarity.

Just knowing.

Just the courage
to stand with what feels true—
even when it’s no longer
a joke.
