Hey friends! I’m so happy you made your way over to my blog! My name is Ruby, and I am a young-twenties, curly-haired, coffee-loving recent divorcee with a lot to say about my past, my present, and my future, and sometimes the world at large! I have suffered from severe anxiety for most of my life, with some depression hitching itself along for the ride. I love to be lighthearted and fun, but I also value and cherish the need to be open, honest, and real. 

In its essence, the core of this blog is very much so, perhaps primarily, a reflection on and continuation of my own personal self-discovery and growth. Thus, while you will undoubtedly come across some lighthearted fashion, beauty, and lifestyle related posts on my page, you will also find many posts from the heart, including accounts of my mental health issues, relationship struggles, and other painful topics. You may also happen to find the occasional political piece thrown in here and there. It may seem like a random smattering of topics… and, well, maybe it is! But when I first started my blog, I felt pressured to be fun all the time, and to keep up with other blogging “trends”. That didn’t work out so well for me, and I eventually found myself avoiding writing altogether. 

As my blog and I took some time apart, I reconnected with the part of myself that loves writing, and I realized that the only way to do it is my way. So alas, this is where I have landed, and I must say I feel much more fulfilled in this blog than I ever have before. If you’re still interested (and I hope you are), I invite you to join this journey with me and become a part of my small (but hopefully growing), loving community. It is my hope that you will find this blog inspiring, relatable, supportive, enjoyable, and safe. Thanks for visiting, and welcome to my little corner of the world!
