16 years ago, I was an apple bottom jeans-wearing, recession-suffering millennial with a job that had nothing to do with my degree and no place on which to take out my creative writing chops. So I started EMMASTHING because what better place to share my every thought, observation, feeling, and irreverent idea but on the World Wide Web?

A lot has changed in the last 16 years, but one thing remains constant: I regret nothing (…yet everything).
