A Reintroduction

My oh my how I've missed writing for this blog. It's been a year since I last shared anything with you and I'm so incredibly sorry. It's been hard in these covid times to know what to write and although my brain hasn't been behaving the best, it's been far better than it was when I first started writing on this blog. I do have a post that i've been writing on every now and again about how I'm finding leaving the house a little overwhelming again but I wanted to reintroduce myself before I jumped back into writing again. For those of you who are new here, or have just stumbled across my blog after a long old time, hello :)! My name is Rebecca and I'm now the grand age of 26, which still doesn't quite feel quite right yet. A lot has changed from the last time I shared a bit more about my life and it feels strange that so much has happened that I never wrote down in blog post form. 

The last time I wrote about myself I had just graduated from my BA undergrad degree with a first and I was over the moon, everything felt like it was falling into place and I had my future ahead of me. Skip to almost 3 years later and I feel a little bit stuck. I've just completed my masters degree (with a distinction) but i'm still in that limbo of trying to find a job in the industry I've been studying towards since my teens. It's a confidence kicker and some days I question whether I'm ever going to actually make it into a radio production job and whether the constant rejection might actually break me. BUT I'm very determined and I want to ensure that I achieve my dream, however long it takes. So I'm plodding along, applying for anything and everything that pops up and hoping that this year something finally sticks. 

I'm also engaged now, which is crazy to me! I met my lovely fiancé whilst working in my current job and the last almost three years have been wonderful! It is the happiest I have ever been and in the midst of a lot of life rubbish, he's been such a support by my side through everything. Not a day goes by where I'm not incredibly grateful to be with him. 

As another year begins, I'm determined to start writing more as this blog was such an outlet over some of the hardest parts of my life and I miss being able to just share that experience with you. I'm also determined to read more and aim to start getting my little book reviews back up and running. I know I made all these same promises last year but I promise I'm going to try this again! 

If your new here, welcome and if you're returning to the mild chaos, welcome back. This is hopefully a cosy, safe space and I'd love to keep you here!

Lots of Love,

Rebecca
