Fishing (written by Sarah Bennett) Someone gives me a compliment I did not ask for, And you say I’m fishing for it. Only I did not want what I caught, I did not eat what I caught, I threw it back into the ocean Where every other nice word said about me Has sunk to … Continue reading Fishing / Poem
I have this thought, something I want to blog about today, but I’m struggling to pin it down. Maybe I haven’t allowed the sentiment to fully settle in my own mind. It’s there, whirling around but not quite taking shape. How to mold it. How to not be afraid of what it becomes. I’m listening … Continue reading a life between busyness and dreams
Hello, my dear reader! Welcome to my latest venture, a new project. I have a big, happy mug of tea next to me, which is usually how I begin to write. It’s also how I start my day. Maybe you’re wondering why I’ve created a newsletter as well as writing a blog. Well, my blog … Continue reading Newsletter: a new project
If you read my second last post, you’ll know that I’ve decided to leave Instagram, but before I took the leap I wanted to finalise a new a project, something that excites me in a way social media doesn’t. And that’s a newsletter! For the past month I’ve been putting together a newsletter and it’s … Continue reading Something new is on the way…
Spring (Written by Sarah Bennett) There’s washing on the line and a poem in my heart, A fullness of joy that’s been in hiding. Was I the one who sent it away? There are walks to be had and flowers to plant, The sun filters through the windows, shining. A slow, happy day. Interestingly, I … Continue reading Spring / Poem
I like how my blog showcases patterns in my life; different interests, different inspirations. Minimalism, running (perhaps this isn’t mentioned as much as it should be), social media (or lack thereof). They seem to be in rotation. While writing and reading are constant on this blog, and the glory to God behind everything I write, … Continue reading Leaving Social Media (for good)
The classic combination of a chai tea and the promise of a new blog post. I love this feeling. The possibilities, the inspiration. Or maybe, more accurately, the want of inspiration. The creativity that comes when you begin to write. I only have one assignment left and then I’ll be free of trimester one, and … Continue reading A Spark of Creativity
I feel like I haven’t sat down and written a blog post in a while. I have the usual poems and book reviews, but not something chatty, or thoughtful. I’ve been busy, which I know is the excuse that causes the response of, you’re never too busy to write, or, you prioritise what you care … Continue reading Uni Updates
I don’t know that I’ve spoken about it specifically, but I’ve been working at a bookstore for the last five months. When people find out there’s usually one of two responses; either, “that’s the best job, you’re surrounded by books all day!” or “retail is the worst, what do you plan on doing in the … Continue reading finding contentment in a bookstore
This month is rushing past and I don’t really know what to make of that. I’ve also started uni now, but I’m trying to study during the day and spend half an hour or so before bed reading a book of my choice, instead of reading only books for uni. So far, so good! In … Continue reading February 2021 Reading
