Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


The Almosts

It’s the dreaming

that hurts the most

The almosts

The ones that never came true

that were barely a seed

in the ground

before they died

That future

no matter how true

fades

as fast as it formed

Those losses

hurt too

as all losses do

To grieve them

is to heal

Don’t forget that

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.
