Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Dear Younger me, Romance is…..

Dear Younger me,

I used to think romance was star gazing, hand holding, late night talks, and being called beautiful. All those things are romantic, but empty without the true romance.

Romance is showing interest in who a person is and what they care about.

Romance is protecting each other’s purity and reputation at all cost.

Romance is being intentional in your action and words.

Romance is taking things slow, taking your time, and patiently getting to know one another.

Romance is seeking God’s guidance above all else and treating each other as children of God.

I see the world through stories and insights. I have always been a sensitive soul, especially towards nature, people, art, and faith. I spend a lot of time reflecting and finding treasures wherever I can. The two values I live by are beauty and celebration. I hope my blog communicates those two things, seeing beauty where beauty is not often seen and celebrating every aspect of life, the hard and the easy.
