Me

Greetings and salutations. I hope you are well :)

If you've clicked on this page, it is most likely because you wish to know who runs this blog. Well, as the title suggest; 

Me.

My name is Rebekah. I honestly enjoy it, but you may call me whatever you please; I won't mind as I've probably been called it before. I've even been called Spaghetti once, by someone who saw fit to challenge my hyperbole. In truth, they were correct; before then I had never been called Spaghetti and I haven't since. But, it happened once, so I'm adding it to the list. 

Anyway, I'm at a Perfectly Decent Age to be experiencing the stresses of life, mine of which are so pleasantly accompanied by bouts of anxiety, periods of apathy, and waves of self-hate. This is all accompanied by the full knowledge that this ain't getting easier as I age. On the contrary, it's probably gonna get worse. So, I figured, how better to cope with all the stress then to just get rid of it? Genius, and definitely how these things work (note: that is sarcasm and 100% not how these things work). I decided to try and take up some stress relieving hobbies...but I was too stressed to try and work up the energy to get into anything new (someday, endless-list-of-appealing-actives...someday). So, I decided I'd revisit some old hobbies (such as blogging, which is how this came to be).

So far you know my name and why this blog exists. Five minutes ago you knew nothing. This, my friends, is progress. Cheers to all of you. But don't party too hard, we aren't done yet.

I have an incredibly large amount of hobbies and an astounding lack of talent in any of them. Do I care as I bellow along with songs, terribly off key? Not particularly, to the distress of everyone around me. I find that's important. It's good to have a sense of boundaries, but it's also good to have a sense of self. Besides, it shows you who really cares. If they can put up with your terrible on-the-spot shanties, they probably like you. 

Talentless or not, I love reading, watching, writing, drawing, singing, dancing, baking, thinking... all of these and more will be reflected in what I write. But, there are two things I want to focus on amidst all the variation.

Stories and stress relief. There are so many types of stories: there are the stories you tell, the stories you watch, the stories you live, even the stories you sing. Between reviews, opinions, speculations, and more, you'll be seeing various stories on here. I may even share a few bits and details of my own, as I've got two novels outlined currently (well, one and a half, but you know, tea). But at the end of the day, this blog is about stress relief. I shall write what I wish to write, and I truly hope we both benefit from it.

Other brief notes: I’m a Christian, and as everyone else seems to, I’ll jump on the band wagon and share my Meyer-Briggs personality type (which is ENFP-T). I have definitely gotten my Hogwarts letter (not like it never came or anything, pfft, no way) and am a proud Hufflepuff. I love writing stories and poems and all the good stuff...so look out for it, my dudes.
