Hi everyone,
I’ve decided to take a short break from creating content. Lately, I’ve been feeling the weight of constant output, and I’ve realized that in order to keep creating with love and purpose, I need to give myself time to rest and reset.

As content creators, we often push through burnout without even noticing, but the truth is, rest is not a weakness — it’s a necessity. Taking this time is about protecting my creativity, my mental health, and reconnecting with the “why” behind what I do.

Thank you for your continued support, patience, and kindness. I’m so grateful for this community, and I’ll be back soon — with a full heart and fresh inspiration.

With love,
Ruth 💙

“You have something to say—and someone out there is waiting to hear it.”
Your voice, your story, your perspective—they matter. There is someone out there who will feel less alone because you chose to speak up. Even when it feels like no one is watching, trust that the right people will find you in time. Keep talking. You’re being heard more than you know.
