About Me

Hi, I’m Celeszta—a writer, student, chronic overthinker, and quietly rebellious perfectionist figuring it out one blog post at a time. I’m also the creator of Växande i Skapelse—Swedish for “growing in creation.” It’s a name that holds everything I care about: the tension between becoming and being, the creative process of building a life, and the quiet defiance of doing it your own way. It’s soft and strong, like me. Like you, probably.

This space is where I unpack the layered chaos of young adult life—through reflections on spirituality, psychology, ballet, theatre, chronic illness, school, and the occasional deep-dive into fictional characters. Think of it like a journal with better lighting: honest, curious, and occasionally covered in stage makeup or coffee stains.

I’ve always been drawn to the liminal spaces: where art meets emotion, where productivity meets softness, where faith meets friction. I write the way I live—curiously, intentionally, and with a quiet refusal to rush through life’s lessons. Whether I’m talking about technique (ballet), character (theatre), or identity (all the in-between stuff no one preps you for), I try to leave room for nuance, contradiction, and slow growth.

I’m also a disabled athlete. I live with a neurological condition that shapes how I move through the world—but it hasn’t stopped me from training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where I’ve found not just strength, but strategy, discipline, and a weirdly healing sense of grit. On the mats, I’m learning to meet my limits with creativity instead of shame. It’s a practice in resilience, and one I share through zine-style reflections on balancing chronic illness with movement and purpose.

If you’re someone who wants to grow, rest, overthink, underachieve, achieve anyway, and maybe light a manifestation candle about it—you’re in the right place. Welcome to the mess. You’re in good company here.
