    It’s so nice to see you. 😊. Im excited about the Strout. When I read My Name Is Lucy Barton, the writing style blew my mind. What a touching book that was. I’m so happy about your move to an apt in Richmond. ❤❤❤

    I love videos like this! I’ve been craving authentic UA-cam videos that remind me of old UA-cam. Just people taking chatting not trying to sell me something

      the Photo Booth recording really reminded me of when I was making UA-cam videos at age 12. glad you enjoyed it :-) sending hugs!!

    Love the way you described this book. I find different comforts in books with larger casts versus lone protagonists, namely the feeling of entering an established community and making new friends with everyone. Like the feeling of going to a group hangout over a solo date with one friend. :)
    Congrats on the move! Hope all transitions smoothly.

    • @benjaminjournal
      @benjaminjournal  Місяць тому +1

      that is such an amazing way to put it! And if we are on the theme of group hangout, sometimes with books my "social battery" can get depleted lol but this one was so easy to be with so many people. :-) Thank you dear!

    Hi! I discovered your channel a good while ago, but only recently watched your qua and realized you're a dancer/choreographer. I'm a very fresh choreographer myself working on shaping my artistic practice and I was wondering if your reading has any link to your own artistic practice and work? I'm imagining it would be amazing to hear you talk about if it is the case

      oh I looooooove this suggestion and topic of thinking/chatting about! So nice to e-meet you. Maybe I'll record something about this after I have a think over it. Or we can have a personal chat over on IG or something. Big hugs xx
