Void Thoughts

See…
it is neither simple,
nor complex.

Neither polished,
nor raw.

Just purely—
human.

It takes one vital ingredient.
You.

Not the world’s noise.
Not the weight of who hurt you.
Not the maps of how you were treated.
Not the logs of how you coped.

But—
the way your heart
still softens.

Kindness…
isn’t a reaction.

It’s a choice.
A pulse your radar catches—
even when the sky
is quiet.

And once released,
it ripples.

Tender.
Unseen.
Carving paths
where none existed
before.

The ripple begins with you.

It is inexplicable,
how kindness makes you feel safe.

It is indescribable,
how in kindness,
you begin to weave
a beautiful world
around you.

And all it takes
is you.

To be that pebble.
That quiet courage.
That gentle wave
of something better.

The ripple begins with you.

Not simple.
Not complex.

Just brave.
Just kind.
Just
beautifully human.
