We’re taught to admire the loud, the bold, the unbreakable, yet it’s often the quiet hearts that leave the deepest mark. Kindness doesn’t shout, but it shifts the ground beneath us. It softens tempers, restores hope, and reaches places that strength-by-force can’t touch. The stories ahead aren’t about grand gestures, but small sparks, the kind that light the dark and remind us that gentleness, when chosen, is its own kind of power.
