this is where it begins

poems, writing, and thoughts for the secretly soft, the mystical, the aching, and the quietly radical.

hi. i’m ruby. i write poems when my chest feels too full and the world feels too loud.

this space is for love, longing, rebellion, softness, loneliness, desire, grief, joy, confusion, spirituality, mysticism, community — whatever survives inside the heart when society tries to flatten it.

i write because i feel too much and say too little.

i write because i believe poems can be a kind of resistance.

i write because somewhere out there, someone might need the exact words i needed, too.

some weeks you’ll get a love letter.

some weeks you’ll get a quiet scream.

some weeks you’ll get both, tangled up like they always are.

thank you for being here.

this is where it begins.
