It's not your face

You are so worried about what happens next, you’re missing what’s happening. But this is not a reprimand, just a statement from your own self. Judging yourself for what you did not create -you can’t be held accountable for their miscreants. No one holds you accountable for it.

We give you space to show the face they gave you. The face that you ended up with after all they did. It’s not the face we made, and darling, it’s not your face.

So you don’t need to hide it from us. You don’t need to hide it at all. We won’t hold against you what they did in the Fall. We won’t hold against you what they did as they made you fall.
