Welcome to my lifestyle blog! My name is Emma and I'm 23 years old. I grew up in Rochester, NY and moved my life to Tampa, FL in July of 2019 (why did I move 2,000 miles? Snow, shit weather, rude people). Some fun facts to help you get to know me..

​

• I'm an only child. This is something I have many thoughts on, and I'm sure will come up soon. 

•  My parents are divorced. Not really a fun fact, but something worth mentioning because it's a huge part of who I am.

• I'm a dog person, but any time I am compared to an animal I'm labeled as a cat. Why? It's either because of my sensitivity and shyness, or my overall bitchy demeanor. I'll let you decide that one. 

• The beach is my favorite place to be. Because I live in Florida, it's always warm enough to go. But, even a cold beach brings me to a place of peace I can't find anywhere else. The wind, the waves and the air calm everything,

• I'm a sagittarius. Admittedly, I don't know much about what that means for me, but whenever I mention it I tend to get an “ohhhh…”, whatever that means.

I’ve been writing down my thoughts on life for some time now, and have struggled to not feel guilty about adminiting my internal challenges. I was very fortunate growing up and had many opportunities others didn't. But, I’m human, and anxiety and depression are real and shit, they are resilient. I have come to terms with the fact that your brain doesn't care who you are, it will fight you if it wants to. Over the past 10 years I’ve spent countless hours in therapist offices, reading self help books, and crying hysterically on the shower floor (it’s very therapeutic). 

I’ve finally started to find some ways to handle anxieties and to make decisions confidently. I feel like I’m beginning to figure out womanhood. I’m not there yet, but as I document my day to day challenges I hope that my words reach someone who feels unsure of where to turn. What opportunities to pursue and how to handle the overwhelming freedom that is young adulthood. 

Being a young woman is hard and pretty damn terrifying. So, grab a snack, sip a drink, hold a hand, and let’s get to chatting!
