Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


The Wildflower You

May you be

the Wildflower you

growing where

you’re not

expected to

And growing among those

other wildflowers with you

Keep your wild beauty

of strange angles

thriving in

unlikely places

Let the sun blossom you

the rocks don’t stop you

you grow right through them

on them

with them

You are vibrant and unique

You grow in bunches

or all alone

You don’t care

because you know

Who you are

You know your beauty

and purpose

You add joy

You add hope

You add color

to the world

Don’t you stop

being the

Wildflower you

We need you

About Me

An obsessive journaler who loves meeting others along their journey and giving them a hand to hold through pieces of writing. I write about the heartbreaks of life and the joys, the ups and downs, and I often learn my greatest lessons and miracles from nature.
