🕯️ What I Hope This Does

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

I don’t want to change the world.

Not in the way people usually mean.

Not with trends or takeovers or algorithms.

I just want to shift something

small

and sacred

inside the person reading this.

If my blog does anything,

I hope it does this:

Interrupts someone’s numb scrolling

long enough for them to feel again.

To remember they’re not crazy for being sensitive.

Not weak for naming what hurts.

Not dramatic for saying, “This matters to me.”

I hope it gives language to the unspeakable.

I hope it turns silence into sentences.

I hope it offers a mirror that doesn’t distort

and a doorway where someone thought there was only a wall.

I’m not trying to go viral.

I’m trying to go deep.

To reach the ones who cry after being misunderstood.

The ones who over-explain, then resent that they had to.

The ones who keep shrinking in rooms that can’t hold their truth.

If I’m lucky—if the muse moves through me—

my words will find the person who forgot they had a voice

and remind them how to use it.

Not for noise.

For clarity.

For courage.

For coming back to themselves.

This blog isn’t here to fix people.

It’s here to reflect what already lives inside them.

To hold space for the moment they whisper:

“That’s what I’ve been trying to say.”

If it does that even once—

then something in the world has already changed.

This reflection responds to the Daily Prompt:

“What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?”

And to the quieter hope beneath it:

“If someone finds themselves in your words—what do you want them to feel?”
