A Little Bit About Renfys
A little corner of the internet for reflections, creativity, and stories.
I write about life, identity, parenting, healing, and the process of becoming ourselves. I’m interested in the messy, complicated parts of being human — the things we inherit, the things we change, and the lives we choose to build.
Alongside personal essays, you’ll find artwork, creative projects, and occasional fiction. Sometimes I create because I have something to say; sometimes I write because I’m trying to understand something; sometimes I make things simply because the world needs more moments of wonder.
I believe that surviving is only part of the story. We also deserve to create, to imagine, to rest, and to build lives that feel like our own.
Thank you for being here.
A Little Bit About Me
My name is Ren (they/them), I’m 40, a non-binary parent, artist, writer and semi-professional queer. Not always in that order.
I have two kids – Flower and Beany. They are 9 and 6. My wife is from New Jersey and we’ve been married for 14 years. She runs a editing business called Busy Spider Proofreading.
Based in rural west Wales, it might not seem like there is a lot to write about, but my county -Ceredigion – is the non-binary capital of the UK and Aberystwyth is the LGBTQ capital of Wales.
I also run my own creative business – Queer Little Shop, and I am trying to start a social enterprise for queer people in my town. I post about family life on my Queer Little Family Instagram.
I have written for Queer AF. Ran Pride In Aberystwyth for two years and run Renfys Designs.
