When I think of university, I think of living on my own. I thought that I would be terrified at the fact that I had to finally fend for myself, and there would be nobody else around to help me or look after me. The minute my parents drove away from my university building I burst into tears. Why did they have to leave me? Have I made a massive mistake in living on my own in a flat? Should I have stayed at home and commuted every day?

All are valid questions. The truth is, I don't know.

I don't know whether I've made a mistake. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. I don't know what the future has in store for me, and I can't be certain on where my life at university will take me. But to be honest, I don't want to know. I don't want to know what it going to happen in the future. I don't want to know who I'm going to meet on the bus; or who I'll chat to whilst waiting in line for a bowl of salad. I like to be surprised. I like to wake up in the morning and be excited about what the day will bring.

However, what I do know is that change is inevitable. No matter how hard you try to deny it, change happens. It happens to the best of us when we're at our strongest, and our weakest. We move on from the places that we've grown so attached to, to experience new adventures. We learn the things that maybe we didn't want to know but will allow us to grow. We meet new enemies, new neighbours, new friends. Sometimes we lose the people we love, but somehow we learn to love again. We learn that just because we can do something, doesn't mean we have to and that sometimes although we want something, doesn't make it right for us. We have the ability to forget those who hurt us and embrace the pain we feel, after all, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?

Embracing change is a large step, and some adjust to it faster than others; but I believe that it doesn't matter how long it takes you to get somewhere, making it to where you want to be is the most important thing.

Someone very wise said that: "You're not going nowhere just because you haven't gotten to where you want to go yet." It's true. We all have destinations in mind, whether it be physically, emotionally, or in life, and just because we haven't gotten there doesn't mean that we're never going to get there. Nobody ever said that change, or life was easy. If it was, it wouldn't be worth living. Its the little pitfalls; the mountains; the dirt we get covered in; the dead end we get stuck in; the lake we have to swim across; the struggles that make this entire life worthwhile.

I don't know how long it will take me to get where I dream myself of ending up. But no matter what, I'll just keep trying.

Why hello there! Thank you for reading my blog!

I should start by introducing myself. I'm Rebecca, also known as Becks or Becky, and I love to write (hence the title.)

Sometimes I do feel that the title is very off-putting because people assume that I only post my writing on here, which is quite far from the truth. Yes, I will be posting various works of mine, however don't expect that to be all you find. While writing is a hobby that I am very passionate about, I also have many others such as song writing and vlogging, and not to mention that I love books.

I'm staying at university at the minute and if only I could have brought all of my book shelves with me.... what a heaven that would be. But unfortunately, there is neither the time or the space to be able to read all the books that I would like to, which is why I should probably save that for when I go back home.

As I was saying, there will be various other posts on my blog which may or may not be an interest that we share. Aside from the above hobbies stated, I'm very into make-up and beauty which is why you'll often find a post about the latest make-up products I've been buying or something I've really been loving over the past couple of weeks (or months.)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading my blog, and I hope to hear from you soon! :)

xoxo - Becks.
