Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Anxiety my Friend

I take anxiety

by the hand

and say thank you

because all you’ve ever done

is try to protect me

and though misled

and uninformed

you got me this far

And now

I want to love you

into peace and confidence

I’ll be patient with you

that’s why I am

taking your hand

We must still walk together

and learn and grow

until you feel

safe enough

to let go

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.
