Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

Complex Trauma

Sometimes it feels like

I can’t catch my breath

I barely get my feet on the ground

or get my head above water

when I am caught off guard

or pushed down again

It feels never ending

And this is complex trauma

Repeatedly pushed under water by life

without a chance to breathe deeply

So now

everything difficult feels

insurmountable

feels like your being pushed under again

Even if

you’re give the chance and time to breathe

you don’t know how to

because you’re so used to drowning

I see the world through stories and insights. I have always been a sensitive soul, especially towards nature, people, art, and faith. I spend a lot of time reflecting and finding treasures wherever I can. The two values I live by are beauty and celebration. I hope my blog communicates those two things, seeing beauty where beauty is not often seen and celebrating every aspect of life, the hard and the easy.
