Hi ā€“ Iā€™m Rebecca.

Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I live on the south coast of the UK with my partner of nearly a decade, where we are trying to build a meaningful, happy life together. Over the years, my life has taken on many different shapes as I spent my 20s trying to fit into the boxes that I felt I should be fitting into.

My 30s are all about changing that pattern.

I have just finished my BA (Hons) Environmental Studies with The Open University, which has been an incredibly enriching (but also incredibly long) experience! Over the past few years, to try and maintain some feeling of control (!!!) I have reclaimed the hobbies of my childhood and fallen back in love with writing, art, dance, learning, finding sparks of joy in what is, all too often, a dark world.

A huge shoutout to my partner, Mickey, who is always my biggest support and who understood me from day one in a way that nobody had before.

I love you :)

This is a place where I give myself permission to just be me. It might not be pretty, it might not be financially savvy, it might not always be a path that is familiar, it might be - at times - cringey AF but it will be me.

Just creating for joy. Because, why the hell not?!

What the future holds is anyone's guess, but the plan is to just keep doing the things that light me up and put out a little bit of magic into a world that is often a difficult place to be and see where it takes me.

Do you want to join me? What will you create today?
