My name is Emily Green. I am from Dallas, Texas. I am in Federal Sales. My job keeps me busy, but I made the commitment to myself that during my free time, I would start writing again in 2022. About me: I lived in a small town outside of Dallas until I was 15 years old. I used to fill up notebooks writing as a little girl. I went to 5 different schools before high school... and then went to 2 different high schools.  When my family lost everything during the recession, we moved to Scottsdale, Arizona during my Junior year of high school. That is when I realized the world was much bigger than the small town I grew up in. If you also had to move states or schools at a young age, you are familiar with the feeling of being taken out of your element and jumping in the fire of a new place with all new people. Eventually there came a point where I was so uncomfortable in this new city trying to find myself, that I threw all of my old journals in the trash convincing myself I am not a writer. As a teenager, I never thought that those moments of being uncomfortable, would make me stronger, make me more mature, make me more social, and actually lead to me evolving in the deepest ways. In fact, I feel uncomfortable sharing my raw imperfect life.. but the reason I write is to share my own experiences and lessons I have learned along the way. Do not fear. Failure/rejection/loneliness/and any difficult times can actually be leveraged as tools for your future.. because these things make you stronger, and give you grit to keep going. These things can make you wiser, more aware and selective of the paths you decide to take in the future. 

The real Emily Green at 26 years old:  I am oddly obsessed with working. I have worked since I was 16 years old and find purpose in working hard on anything I do. I am obsessed with watching psychology lectures on YouTube... I love watching court cases just because I am infatuated with how Criminal Defense lawyers and prosecutor's present themselves in court. My brain ticks the most when I am staring at the ocean.... or sitting on top of a mountain.. And most importantly: I have the absolute best mom and dad in the entire world. the best sisters. and heaven-sent best friends.
