Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Assume the Worst

I want SO BADLY

to assume the worst

just like you

assumed the worst of me

but I know better

and I trust

that humans are complex

and we don’t always

do out best

So no matter how badly you’ve hurt me

I have to believe

there’s something good there

I have to give

the benefit of the doubt

or else

I’ll do the same things as you

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.
