Tread with care.

This is your warning. Past this point, you are going way, way, way back in time.

It's been eight (gasp! 8) years since I blogged last, and... a lot has changed. Too much to put in a blog post. I know this, for I have tried to write a summary of 2015-2023 many, many a time to my great fatigue at the sheer magnitude of the task. *faints dramatically*

Silly hyperbole aside, if you continue below this point, I humbly ask that you have compassion on wee baby 22-25 year old Emmi.

She's cringe at times, but I'm reluctant to hide any of her posts, somehow.  What she wanted to say here still matters to me. Even in her undiagnosed anxiety, not yet deconstructed, naive, insecure state, I love that silly goose that was me in another lifetime. I think she'd be proud of where we are now.

So... How've you been?

Hello lovelies!  It occurred to me today that I have been neglecting my poor little blog! To make up for it, here is another  Random Things  post :) Thing One:  Movies!!! So many movies coming out in November that I want to see!! Off the top of my head... Big Hero 6, Mockingjay, and The Imitation Game. I know that's only 3, but considering a that a typical month has maaaybe one, I think it's impressive. Such a random spread too! I feel like it gives a pretty good insight into my personality... you've got the love of disney/animated/adorable, the gotta-see-how-well-they-adapt-this-book-why-are-they-making-it-two-parts-that-seems-unnecessary, and the nerd in me wanting to see 1) Benedict Cumberbatch, and 2) the history behind the one of the coolest set of code-breaking nerds ever!  I'm so excited (and I just can't hide it...etc.). Thing Two:  Singing in Public I'm not sure how I missed this about myself before, but it has come to my attention lately that I

Letters to Anxiety

Edit from the future for some context: Summer of 2015 I learned that I had been living with undiagnosed anxiety. And not just for a few years, but likely for my whole life. To say that the coping mechanisms that I had learned in those 25 years were "bad" is a significant understatement. It took me 3 years from this point to learn enough healthy coping mechanisms to -start- to tip the balance in the right direction, and another 2 years before I stopped using "failure" as a label for myself. Of all the posts on this blog, this one is the one I've wanted to delete the most. Just look at it! It's so cringey!! But, for better or for worse, I've decided that it gets to stay. It was an honest moment in time, and I don't have the heart to hide it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hey Anxiety, You suck. Sincerely, Me P.S.

Too Many Things.

Image
I decided that I should blog today so as not to fall out of habit... but I kinda have nothing to say. That's not really true, I suppose.  The more realistic statement is that I have too many things to say and I'm not sure of how to chose just one, let alone focus on it well enough to be eloquent and/or make sense in general.  This is my brain, welcome. Hmmm... (I'm attempting to chose.  You can't tell, but it's taking a lot of face-scrunching.) Okay, I've got it.  I'm going to talk about my amazement at the friends that God brings into my life. I had the pleasure of spending several hours yesterday with a new, but quickly becoming good, friend.  I went over to hang out on Sunday evening and immediately noticed that her son (who's 3) had a big band-aid on his forehead.  When I asked about it, she explained that while playing hide-and-seek she'd managed to convince him to cover his eyes so that he could not see, then decided that he should st
