Finding HopeQuotes For Spring
Posted on March 5, 2022
A few days ago, I was out and I saw my first crocuses of the year! I know, I’m very late – I haven’t been going out much recently – but it’s one of my favourite moments of spring. The first crocuses, the first snowdrops, the first daffodils… I love it. So I thought I’d share some quotes about spring as it seems that spring has really, finally joined us…
“‘Is the spring coming?’ he said. ‘What is it like?’ […] ‘It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine…'” – Francis Hodgson Burnett
“Spring will come and so will happiness. Hold on. Life will get warmer.” – Anita Krizzan
“No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.” – Hal Borland
“In winter, I plot and plan. In spring, I move.” – Henry Rollins
“The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.” – Gertrude Smith Wister
“Spring triumphs over winter (he always lets her win).” – Terri Guillemets
“You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep spring from coming.” – Pablo Neruda
“I hear the passing echoes of winter and feel the warming springtime sun.” – Terri Guillemets
“The sun has come out… and the air is vivid with spring light.” – Byron Caldwell Smith
“Hope sleeps in our bones like a bear waiting for spring to rise and walk.” – Marge Piercy
“The first wild-flower of the year is like land after sea.” – Thomas Wentworth Higginson
“The first blooms of spring always make my heart sing.” – S. Brown

“You are reborn with the roses, in every spring.” – Juan Ramón Jiménez
“Flowers rewrite soil, water, and sunshine into petal’d poetry.” – Terri Guillemets
“Flowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful.” – Jim Carrey
“Spring: a reminder of how beautiful change can truly be.” – Unknown
“Spring: the music of open windows.”– Terri Guillemets
“Spring is the time of plans and projects.” ―
While spring brings with it a lot of wild weather – wind, rain, grey skies – it also brings colour and freshness and a sense of change and momentum. I love the change of seasons; I love the possibility and hope associated with that change. I’m cautiously hopeful about what this spring holds.
Do you have any quotes that you associate with spring?
Some More of the Little Things
Posted on February 6, 2021
I’ve been working on some longer, more in depth posts recently, as well as trying to manage my physical health, mental health, and university work. Life is just… a lot right now. But I hate breaking my posting schedule. This blog is one of my absolute favourite things so I wanted to have something to post today, even if it isn’t exactly what I usually post. So, following on from this post, here are a few more things about me.
- I like origami but I’m not very good at it.
- I wish I could draw or paint.
- I’m a bit of a people pleaser but I’m getting better at standing up for myself and speaking my mind.
- I still haven’t found a tea or coffee I like.
- I have found an alcoholic drink I like: a passionfruit mohito.
- I love thunderstorms.
- I love taking photos.
- I have enough books on songwriting that, if you stacked them, they’d probably be taller than me.
- I love the smell of freshly cut grass.
- My favourite musicals are Wicked, Waitress, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Hamilton.
- Over the last year or so, I’ve started collecting candles.
- I love Gerberas and Dahlias.
- I’ve been rewatching Criminal Minds recently and I love Emily Prentiss so freaking much.
- Edge of Tomorrow (also known as LIVE. DIE. REPEAT.) is one of my all time favourite movies. I love the sci-fi of it, the very different aliens, the perfect amount of day repeats, and Emily Blunt being a complete badass.
- I wish I was more confident.
- I love stationary, especially notebooks.
- Bullet Journaling has changed my life.
- I’m very insecure about my appearance: how I look, my face, my body, etc.
- I have watched Hot Fuzz probably a hundred times and I’m still not bored of it because it reminds me of good times with my Dad.
- I wish I knew how to do make up well.
- My favourite season is Autumn.
- Reading fanfiction has become a real relaxation technique/technique for combating anxiety.
- I want to learn the Kalimba.
- I struggle with cooking because I find food so hard as an autistic person, although I like baking.
- I love golden hour.
- I really miss Australia, New Zealand, and Iceland.
- I’m still good friends with my best friend from secondary school.
- When I was a kid, I wanted to be a novelist or a child psychologist.
- Whenever characters leave TV shows, I make up storylines for them and I will not accept any other story.
- I love fairy lights.
- I’ve had three hamsters in my life: Hammie (I was six), Myfanwy (I was obsessed with Torchwood and the Pterodactyl was called Myfanwy and I couldn’t find a Welsh name I liked better for her), and Pumpkin.
- According to AncestryDNA, I’m 2% Swedish (I want to write more about the experience of this process and investigating my family history).
- I love typewriters.
So those are a few more of the little things about me. This blog bounces between such specific subjects that sometimes I wonder if you guys feel like you actually know me. So every now and then, I want to update you on stuff like this to make sure that you do know me. Because I want you to know me as a whole person, not me through the lens of depression or OCD, etc.
