Sarah Jane

Welcome to Rhythm'n'Books! My name is Sarah and I talk about music of all genres and decades, YA fiction, vegan food, and the novel I am writing! Welcome!

When you think life is starting to go your way but suddenly it takes a sharp FORK in the road and you have to run after it "WAIT! Not that way!!!" And you have to run after it like a Disney character and their wayward dog. #adulting #imFINE 😆🙃

Was it a bad idea to drink Hot Chocolate so late into the evening?? "NO. IT. WASN'T" said my brain as it bounces around my head like a pinball. #caffeine #adultdecisions #goodjobme 😆😳🙃

Great day with friends- went to a thrift store, ate a bunch of vegan junk food, and watched a scary(ish) movie in the dark rain!! Yesterday I was predicting this day would be awesome and I love the odd occasions when my hopeful predictions come true. #weekend #weekendgoals #happy

Not the best week ever. I gave myself a stupid injury and it's sunk me creatively too. I'll be glad to have a mental health help day tomorrow. Trying to feel grateful I can rely on those help days. #gratitude #weekend #feelinglow #selfcare

I pulled a nerve today just STANDING UP, so that is how MY hump day is going. I still managed to keep a cheerful attitude through most of the day even though I couldn't even sit without hurting. So, I guess that's a win? #thelittlethings #ouch #weekdaygoals

Where I live, we have gotten to the "It's super freaking cold out, but at least the sun will be shining" season and I am SO NOT READY. This season lasts at least 11 months. I'm already wishing I could thaw properly. 😆😳🥶 #winter #coldweather #imisssummer

Happy National Coming Out Day! Every step towards discovering who you really are is an incredible one. Doesn't matter if the steps are bold and into the spotlight, or timid, and in the rainbow-colored shadows. You are BRAVE, dammit, and deserve respect for it. #ComingOutDay

As someone who suffers from really bad anxiety, I know the importance of a strong support system. My parents are my best friends, and I can tell them anything including panic sobbing on the phone during a storm. Everyone deserves a strong support system like me. #MentalHealthDay

"Being honest might not get you a lot of friends, but it will always get you the right ones." -John Lennon
Millions of people wished you would have gotten to see 80, John Lennon. Your music and message STILL inspire us daily. #Lennon80

Eddie Van Halen died yesterday and I still can't believe it. He was definitely someone I thought I was going to be able to hear news from decades from now. My sister was a big fan of his, and she ironically passed away from cancer too. This hit really hard. #fuckcancer #legend

All the soft rock, cute pop, romantic comedies, and journaling has been fun and all, but sometimes, I really, REALLY miss my metal music and memoirs about people who went through some dark times, you know? I. MISS. ME. 😆🤘😍 #selfcare #music

I found myself knowing that I will never out buy the people on social media. I buy thrift store books and clothes. I buy art supplies from department stores. I get excited about homes that the internet would LAUGH at. But there is a freedom in this. And I embrace it. #happy

Just had a truly great day. Warm food, scary movies, and (masked) thrift book shopping.... My friends and I enjoy the little things and find we can still enjoy October mostly the same, just masked and careful. #thelittlethings #thebestdays #happy #littlejoys #weekendgoals

Hey, I know you are tired of hearing PSAs about health, but I've seen too many DANGEROUS phony articles out there, so...

Being overweight doesn't suck nearly as bad as dying of scurvy. Please. PLEASE. Unless your PERSONAL DOCTOR tells you otherwise. Eat your fruit. #PSA 🍊🍓🍎

This morning it was rainy, windy and the power went out but I also may have finally ended a writing slump that has been going on for weeks, so.... silver lining? #trying #writing #writingproblems #falltime

I'm hoping this burst of nice weather will give me the creative boost I need to get through New England winter season, aka October-May. Haha! #sunshine #creativity #winter 😂

Only allow yourself friends that tell you when they see a super cute fox in your area. Because today I SAW A SUPER CUTE FOX. And I got a picture!!! I haven't gotten this close to a fox in my whole life and so this scratches off a tick on the lifelong wildlife bucket list. 😍🦊

I've asked my mom to take photos of me, and we've taken some inside and with fall leaves. When debating which ones were better, my mom said something like "You ARE autumn colors. You look best WITH autumn colors." Should have been offended, but was impressed. 😂#bestfriends

2020 is all about bringing the little joys into your life. I made a couple of jars so that every new book I read is a surprise. It sounds silly, but when I draw from that jar, no matter what the book is, I squeal and dance. 2020 needs squeal and dance times. #thelittlethings #joy
