I Should Ask More Questions

I don't think about this often, but sometimes it comes to me when I'm in the middle of a conversation with someone like, say, my mom and she'll ask me what my friends are up to like what's their current job. I sometimes feel like I don't know enough about my friends because whenever I…

The Damages of Unfriending

It may not seem like a big deal but social media has given us the power to cut someone out of our life, just like that, without seeing them in person. When people unfriend me, the first thing I ask myself is why? What did I ever do to you? I remember I lost someone…

Quarantine Times

You're surprised most likely why I've put so much content out this month, you're thinking, Emily, what's going on, you're on fire with you're writing! Did you have a breakthrough recently?? Yes and no, I had a significant amount of free time this month and I was originally going to save these words for my…

Things I’ve Learned From Quitting Instagram

Instagram is currently the most popular social media app and I have broken up with it twice. It hasn't been easy leaving, returning and then finally leaving for good earlier this year. But as more time passes without me checking it every day, I have learned so much that is worth sharing. Some people say…

How to be a Broken Record

People can be difficult to deal with on a regular basis. It infuriates me a lot when I can't reach a compromise with someone, whether it's at work, home, or anywhere. I hate being lectured and one of the challenges I face is that once someone starts that, my brain is immediately compelled to switch…

Stop Hating On Summer

Spring is my favourite season for the flowers I love the most bloom during it but I also love summer. Being able to sit outside with a book during a warm sunny day, (as long as I can find some shade because I burn easily) is the best thing ever. I also love watching bumblebees…

My Relationship With Memes

Ah, memes, the pinnacle of the Internet to provide us with laughs over everything imaginable. I first heard of what a meme was in high school and it's safe to say that I didn't get it at first. My friends were already absorbed by them and to me, they were just images with text added…

Why I’m Reading More Books

In a world where we have access to so much entertainment, I find myself reading more and more these days. Ever since covid started, I was cooped at home with not much to do outside of work. When I wasn't always writing or gaming, I began to reintroduce things I didn't do regularly in my…

Learning to Drive with Anxiety

It's time I touch base on this. I've finally made a commitment to getting my driver's license and will finish the process this time. I remember having thoughts that I didn't need to drive, but as time went by, I grew tired of public transit where I had to sit waiting for buses or trains…

Is It Time To Fly?

This is a personal topic I want to touch base on, which may not seem like the best thing to do on a public Internet page like my blog. But as someone who loves to write, there is an enormous advantage to talking about these things. When something begins to nag you, writing it down…
