The Ripple Journal
A quiet corner of the internet. No noise, just small moments and reflections, written with care. This is my version of social media—slowed down and stripped back.
Here, I share fragments of poetry and stories from everyday life. Some tender. Some raw. All real. You’ll find microblogs updated regularly, sometimes multiple times in one day, sometimes not for weeks.
I write to connect, to make meaning, and to notice what often goes unseen.
Thanks for being here.

A Phantom of Delight
What felt like a burden to live up to back then has become a truth I now embody—but differently.
The Ripples Go Far
If you’ve ever wondered whether a small gesture matters, let this be your answer. It does. It ripples. And it returns in ways you can’t predict.

When the Universe Whispers Back
The ripples are there. They’re just traveling at a different speed than I expected, arriving through different channels than I planned, touching hearts in ways that don’t show up in analytics.
