Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


It wasn’t Perfect

Who would guess

with just a little bit of space

I would see

it wasn’t perfect

for you or me

Trying to heal

those wounds

you can’t see

no

it wasn’t prefect

for you or me

Each conversation

held contexts unseen

Each reconciliation

wasn’t enough

for you or me

We tried our best

but in the end

nothing we did

could make things work

for you and me

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.
