I am a sister
A good one, I hope
One who always does her best to be on your side, despite differences
I am a daughter
One who will always love her parents equally
No matter how old she gets
I am a friend
Who will stick by their side and help as must as she can
Ignoring her own problems
I am an outsider
Looking at the world through an old film reel
That has been jammed many times and burnt around the edges
I am alone
Not literally but my heart is
For no one truly understands who I am
I am a walking contradiction
My appearance and personality do not match
And I physically embody everything
Our parents are afraid of us becoming
I am a tomboy
Who likes to dress up once and a while
I am Gothic
But mint and Lilac are my favourite colours
I am hostile
I am pessimistic
I am a human
And I am an enigma
Hello, my name is Emily and this is my blog. I’m not great at describing myself but I will try. My style of writing is kind of odd because I use a rather poetic voice even in critical or non-fiction writing. I find that I can explain myself better in metaphors even if I am very blunt in real life. This blog is going to contain a lot of the things that pop into my brain and they may not make sense at times but just work with me here it made sense at the time. I enjoy paradoxical stories and causing existential crises’. I like musicals and art so I guess I’m pretty creative. I took my first Creative Writing class in grade ten to improve my work but ended up really enjoying to freedom I was given to pretty much write whatever the heck I wanted so I wrote as dark as I could. I still write dark but I want to develop a style where the horror is a bit more subtle and everything may seem fine but something is obviously just off or it is literally just terrifying but it is treated like it is completely fine.
