Welcome to SeeYouBeeYou
Come in. You don't need to have yourself sorted.
I'm Vicky, a writer, observer of human nature, and firm believer that some of the most important parts of life happen in the bits we'd rather edit out.
SeeYouBeeYou is where I write about them.
The childhood chaos. The jobs that changed me. The people I loved. The things I got spectacularly wrong. Grief, belonging, mental health, relationships, reinvention, and all the strange little moments that only make sense when you look backwards.
Some of it is funny. Some of it isn't. Most of it is both.
These are stories from my life, but they aren't really here to be about me. They're here because sometimes somebody else's story helps us recognise something in our own.
So make a brew, have a wander, and see what finds you.
Where Do You Begin?
Start With the Stories
You don't need to begin with deep inner work.
Start with a story.
A childhood disaster. A ridiculous decision. A job that became part of who I was. A family mystery. A moment I didn't understand until years later.
My memoir journals are part story, part reflection. I tell you what happened, what I understand differently now, and then leave some space for you to notice what the story stirs in you.
No homework. No right answers.
Just one human story occasionally bumping into another.
Then See Where It Takes You
Sometimes a story is just a good read.
Sometimes one sentence follows you into the kitchen.
That's where the reflective side of SeeYouBeeYou begins.
The journals offer questions, pauses and gentle prompts for exploring your own patterns, memories, choices and becoming.
You can go as deep as you want.
I'll provide the pages. You remain firmly in charge of your own head.
It Really Is This Simple
READ
Come for the story.
Real life, told honestly. The funny bits, the painful bits, the questionable decisions, and the things that somehow became important later.
RECOGNISE
Find the bit that belongs to you.
Not because our lives are the same, but because being human has an annoying habit of making us recognise ourselves in other people's stories.
REFLECT
Take the thought somewhere.
A question. A scribble. A cup of tea. Five quiet minutes. Whatever works. Reflection here isn't another job to do properly.
