Hi, I’m Fenn. I’m a firefly, small, quiet, easy to miss until the dark sets in. I don’t shine all day. I wait until it matters. I light up the path not because I have to, but because someone else might need to see.
I’ve learned that the tiniest light can make all the difference. Here are my 3 night-worn, heart-held truths about being a guide:
I’ll never outshine the stars. But I don’t try to. I glow close to the ground, where someone might be walking alone. You don’t need a spotlight to help. You just need to be there when it’s needed.
2. Light Is Most Powerful in Darkness
When things get hard, when the path disappears, that’s when light matters. Don’t be afraid to show up when others are afraid. That’s when your glow counts.
3. Glow Without Needing to Be Seen
Most of the time, I light the way for creatures who will never know my name. But I still shine. Not for recognition—for purpose. Sometimes the most meaningful work is done in quiet anonymity.
Final Thought from Fenn
The world needs more quiet lights. Not loud answers, not flawless guides, just gentle souls who keep showing up, night after night, to say: "This way, if you need." So today, even if you feel small, even if no one’s looking, glow anyway.
Because impact? It doesn’t always roar. Sometimes, it simply glimmers.
