Emily

I just can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read.

About Me

I'm Emily. I live in Chicago. I like mashed potatoes.
This box is making me think I ought to write more about myself, so here goes.
I moved to Chicago from Detroit 7 months ago, and so far it is the best decision I ever made. It's funny, but when you live somewhere like Detroit for so long, a big, vibrant city really shocks you. There are things to do here. I go to shows, bars, wicked keggers.
I've made all kinds of great friends. I've learned that riding a bike is better than a car any day.
I've learned to finally see hope all around me.
