There’s always that one flickering bulb at home.
You think, “I’ll fix it tomorrow.”
And weeks pass.
You learn to live with its rhythm—on-off-on, blink-blink, buzz.
It becomes a part of your background, your quiet.
I think we’re all like that bulb sometimes.
Flickering. Not broken, just… tired.
But still giving light.
Even if it’s not perfect.
And you know what? That’s okay.
You don’t have to shine steady all the time.
Even flickers count.
