Hey! My name is Rebekah, and I’m a 17 year old from Ireland! I’m graduating from secondary school this year, and becoming an adult (officially) in April! (Woohoo!) So I thought to myself, what better time to share my writing with the world? I’m allowed to vote soon, why not be brave with my other choices too?
I’ve been writing lyrics since I was around 11 years old. I became very lonely as I started to get that little bit older, and songwriting became a way for me to deal with my hardships. It comes from a place of having no one to talk to about your thoughts, except for your journals.... and gosh do I have a lot of them!
I guess what I should mention is that when I began writing songs, I thought it was something everybody did. And so I never felt compelled to shout about it and spread the word that I write. As I realized that my songwriting was something that made me special, or different- it made me scared. How would people react? Now as as I approach adulthood, I’m not afraid of that question anymore.
I hope you guys will reach out to me, and perhaps guide me with my writing, which I’ve been doing alone all these years haha. I’d really appreciate some different/fresh insight!
Kindest regards, Rebekah <<33
