Navigating life's labyrinth one dive at a time.
Hi, I’m Sara!
Greetings, fellow beings embracing the lost wilderness we call life! As customary as it is, it is important to tell you a bit about myself. I’m currently a “figure life out” blogger. As life hits me with its obstacles in my career, personal and relationships fronts, I turn to hermindscape to escape from it all. By day, I’m a consultant, working in financial services. I used to be a copywriter for a biotech company as well. I also just graduated this year from university. The whole spectrum, innit?
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve found solace, purpose, and a profound sense of freedom through the written medium. In this world that never stops, where we’re often lost in social media, the pressures of society or the anxieties of the mind, writing has become my sanctuary—a place where I can unravel my spiderweb of thoughts, express all my emotions, and perhaps connect with others on an different level.

A New Beginning
I truly see this platform as one as much for you as it is for me. I believe that we all have those norm-breaking thoughts every now and then. And many of us suppress it, let it go and move on with our lives. But when if we stayed here a bit longer, mulled in the moment and fully took it in? Maybe we’d go in deeper, maybe we’d be transported to a different world – and maybe, just maybe, we’d come back to our realities, refreshed with a new approach to figure it out.
This is the start, so as you can imagine, I’m filled to the brim with self-doubt. But it’s one of those if not now, then never moments, where you imagine your future self regretting not starting sooner. And as an overthinker, I have such a disparate array of thoughts, that I’m itching to let it all out somewhere. I want to say this is my 10th website I’m creating. I created my first one when I was 15, and although it was such a fun process, what stopped me from continuing was the lack of engagement. Unfortunately, that’s what happened every other time I blogged. This time you see, is different because even though I would love engagement from you folks, my main “why” is to have an outlet to express myself. So regardless of how this fares, my aim is to let my inner thoughts out.
Wisdom from the Unwise
Alot of what I have on this site, will be “wisdom” from epiphanies I have. One of my favorite things to do is go down a memory lane – and witness the growth that happens over the years. And that’s exactly what I’m attempting to mimic here. I revel in the fact that I’ll be able to see how my thought processes and nuggets of wisdom change over days, months, years even. And though I’m no “wise”, I’d like to say my tiny little petite nuggets offers a different perspective of looking at life. And isn’t that what we’re here for? To see life through a different way?
Everyone sees life in a different way – revel in that fact.
Your lens is priceless.
As I mentioned I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. It’s been that one thing that I could always resort to – the one thing that I could see myself fully become flow in. It’s the one thing I can see myself evolving with. Writing for the mind, is what exercise is for the body. That’s why we say “food for thought”.
So as I embark on this writing journey through my 20s, I invite you to take the plunge with me. Come along for the dive, and stay for the ripples. I can’t promise it’ll be the best thing in the world, but it’ll be something, that’s for sure. And I’m excited to hear from you on what you’d like me to write on. I also have an “ask her” column, where you get to ask me all the questions in the world, and get my unsolicited advice on.
My first goal is to write for 100 days consistently, and then we’ll go from there. We live life in seasons 😉
