Welcome to By Cesca

Ah I’m so excited to feel, write, create and share with you guys. 

Having my own blog has been a passion of mine for a long time, and I’m so happy that I have taken the steps to actually start one. What initially made me want to create ‘By Cesca’ is my love of writing and journaling. It truly is my love, but I’ll go into more detail about that in another blog post because there’s a lot to say about how much journaling has helped me and why it’s become such an important part of my life. 

This is a passion project of mine. To be honest, I think I’ve always had a creative side but never went too far in thinking what could happen if I actually made the effort, and just give it a go at trying to create whatever vision I would have in my head. I kind of see By Cesca as a tree with so many branches. There are so many possibilities and that is so exciting to me. I feel that when I have an idea and it’s on my mind and in my heart, I have to go for it. I don’t have ideas for no reason, and there’s no reason as to why they should just stay an idea. I wanna make shit happen. 

I’m the kind of person as well, where when I’m going through something, I won’t tell anyone. I’ll kind of just keep it to myself and deal with it. Not with everything, but with a lot of stuff. The one thing I do is write, that’s why my journal has been my best friend for a good 8 years now. Things will get vulnerable, especially when it comes to my blog. Because when I write, I rarely erase. 

I want ‘By Cesca’ to be something that people can get inspired by. With my blog, I hope people can read it, see my experiences and know that they’re not alone. But, more than anything, I want to make myself proud and have this be something that will stand the test of time. I want to be able to look back years from now knowing that I created something that helped someone. 

Towards the end of 2021, I was like yep I am so ready for the new year which I say every year because I think there just comes a point where you’re trying to make the most of where you’re at but can’t help to think “okay, what’s next?”. I was so excited and positive about this year, and I still am. I’m turning twenty-four on the 24th and I just think it’s gonna be my best year yet. 

The start of 2022 started off really good, and I think because at the end of 2021, I secured a job for the start of the new year which was great, especially because it had been a year and a half of not working and just being at home. It has now been about a month since I started and I am enjoying it. The biggest thing for me right now is to learn. I don’t care how old I get, I’m always learning, changing and evolving.

The company that I work for is a legal recruitment firm, and no I didn’t study law but I’ve been a part of the recruitment process before when I was looking for work, so I can completely identify and understand the questions that the consultants ask the candidates.

That first day of starting a new job is a bit overwhelming because there’s a lot to take in, but it’s exciting. A little over month in now and I’m learning about the recruitment process, different areas of law and posting job ads which I’ve found quite interesting. It’s a process to actually post one because there are a lot of steps you need to take in order to see it on a job board. I’m still getting my head around on how to do some things but it’s okay; I’m learning and I know I have people around me that are there to help and support me.

When starting a new job, there are two things i’ve learned:

  1. Don’t be so hard on yourself

  2. Be a sponge especially on that first day. No one expects you to know how to do everything


Besides starting a new job which has been a fun, interesting learning experience, life has been pretty good. So far, I have dodged this virus but I could be next - let’s be real. I have my days when I’m feeling up and days when feeling down but such is life, I just keep it pushing. 

At this point in my life it is about getting a good job so I can support myself, my family, and my community. I want to be able to give back and support organisations that I’m passionate about, and ultimately contributing positively to this world is what’s about, and it’s important to me that I do.

There’s a lot for me to learn on the business side of things, and right now in my life it’s important because everything that I’m learning to do will help me ‘By Cesca’. 

I’m so excited. At the end of the day, the one thing I know about this whole By Cesca brand is that I love it. And that’s what it comes down to. All I know is that if I’m passionate about something and I believe fully in myself and my journey, I’ve got to keep going.

I feel that ‘By Cesca’ can lead to amazing things, so I'm just going to keep trusting myself and create things that I feel best represent me.
