Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


To be with you

I’ve never found myself

desiring a presence

But your presence

is wanted

Not for attention

or validation

just to be with

to be able to look over at you

and smile

to feel safe

knowing you’re nearby

to catch your brown eyes

to roll my eyes at your

cheesy jokes

to be with you

I’ve never just wanted to 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.
