What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?
When I started writing The Narratives, I wasn’t thinking about “influencing” anyone. I wasn’t chasing followers, or clicks. I just wanted to get my thoughts out, to make sense of the chaos in my head and the chaos in the world.
But the more I wrote, the more I realised something: words can plant seeds. Not everyone who reads my blog will agree with me, but maybe they’ll stop, even for a moment, and think differently. Question something they’ve always accepted. See a side of a story the mainstream never shows.
I don’t want my blog to “change the world” in the Hollywood sense, I’m not naïve. But I do want it to make people think.
If a person reads one of my posts on faith and finds comfort in a difficult time, that’s change.
If someone looks at capitalism, media, or history with fresh eyes, that’s change.
If someone feels less alone in their struggles because I dared to be honest about mine, that’s change.
I guess what I’m chasing is a shift in the way people think and feel. To remind them that the world isn’t just black or white, it’s full of nuance, history, stories, beauty, and pain. And that the loudest voices aren’t always the truest.
If I can make even a handful of readers more questioning, more empathetic, and more awake — then The Narratives will have done something.
Through my words, I want to remind people that empathy is strength, questioning is necessary, and silence is dangerous. I want readers to see that even if the world can’t be fixed overnight, they can still carry truth like a torch, lighting the corners the mainstream avoids.
