Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Murky Waters

There is hope in curiousity

taking away

the all or nothing thinking

bringing back

humanity

It is uncomfortable

wading into the grey

never easy answers

never a peaceful easy feeling

Just the confusion

of human complexity

To live with that

is incredibly hard

and yet

extending it to others

can help you

extend it to yourself

This may be uncomfortable

but it opens you up

to more and more beauty

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.
