Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Only Human

Was expecting you to be perfect

but you’re just human

and I am too

And that reminder of humanity

is an opportunity

to say

I love you anyways

I love you because you are just human

I get to choose to say

yes to you

Even when that feels like

saying no

to myself

especially when

it feels like

saying no to myself
