2020: lost and found
yes, this year was tough, but i do believe that in between those hard moments there was immense growth. if we were never challenged we would never have the opportunity to grow. because the truth is, that often it’s not the darkness that makes us strong, it’s that it requires us to prove just how strong we were all along.
SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER
i struggled with seasonal affective disorder long before i knew it had a name. i just thought that my regular depression got upgraded to a festive version in the winter. i could tell that things felt harder in the winter months; they took more energy, it was harder to just be.
Falling in love with my son
laying in a hospital bed, holding baby yogi as he was hooked up to too many machines and wearing a far too big for him purple hospital gown, my eyes were full of tears but my heart was bursting with love. i would do anything for him. laying in that hospital bed i knew i was holding a piece of me that i would love all the days of my life.
welcome! i'm emma.
i believe we all have a story worth sharing. that the best version of ourselves is authentic and unfiltered. who you are matters. there are few things in life not made better by coffee or wine. you are not alone. you are enough.
