Thoughtful in The Dark
From middle school notebooks to the global airwaves, my journey as a creator has always been fueled by a need to document the unpredictable. What began as a personal blog in college has blossomed into a vibrant podcasting community, built on the feedback and support of listeners like you. This platform is an extension of my creative realm—a place where stories, perspectives, and experiences come to life in audio form. Thank you for being part of this evolution. Welcome to the show. — Ralph

Stern - A Short Poem for The Frustrated
It is not easy to feel frustrated. In these circumstances, we experience hurt feelings, lose energy and, sadly, become demotivated. We understand what it means to be stern. In this short poem, I attempt to overcome those feelings. It encapsulates my entire attitude towards it. I hope you like it! — Ralph
STERN
In shadows cast by fleeting dreams,
I grasp at threads of hope, it seems.
Yet tangled knots of doubt persist,
A tempest raging in my chest.
The clock ticks on, relentless, cruel,
As patience wanes, a stubborn mule.
Each obstacle a heavy weight,
My spirit strained, my heart irate.
But still, I fight against the tide,
Resolve unyielding, deep inside.
For even in this maddening strife,
I find the seeds of strength and life.
The moon weeps silver tears above,
A witness to my restless love.
And though frustration's flames may burn,
I'll rise anew, undaunted, stern.
So let the storms rage wild and free,
I'll find my calm amidst the sea.
For every trial, a lesson learned,
And in my heart, resilience earned.
