I'm Emily. I'm afraid of getting old. I believe in peace, love, truth, freedom, creativity, tenderness, and simplicity. I absorb everything I see. Knowledge is power, and ignorance is useless. I'm too forgiving, and even though it usually hurts me in the end, it's a habit I can't break. I enjoy good company and a good conversation. I respect people with passion and talent. There is no better feeling than an open road and a car with a full tank of gas. I don't welcome change. I have a lot of scars. Everyone has stories to tell, and I listen with hope of insight to a reality I wouldn't have otherwise known. I live my life keeping an open mind, but I have certain beliefs that won't change. Our surroundings are clouded with poverty, war, AIDS, economic recession, murder, etc, but there is still beauty everywhere. I'm extremely sentimental, and I have a complex fear of forgetting things. I believe in love that is unselfish and revengeless. I have tons of project ideas in my head, but that's where they stay; My thoughts are futile. Beyond my mixed up words and constant struggle to express myself, I have faith that someday my brain will find a way to communicate it's intentions. "Ash to ash; And dust to dust- we're all gonna die, so we have to trust in something."
"We have been known from the very first start. Our eye color, our hairline, our jaw line, the shape of our big toe, the tone of our voice. These things have been designed from the very beginning. What kind of music we listen to. The sort of skirt that looks good. The sort of cap that fits right. We have been made to find these things for ourselves, and take them in as ours, like adopted children: habits, hobbies, idiosyncrasies, gestures, moods, tastes, tendencies, worries. We are all these things. They have been put in us for good measure. Perhaps we don’t like what we see: our shapeless hair, our loss of hair, our shoe size, our dimples, our knuckles too big, out eating habits, our disposition. We have disclosed these things in secret, likes and dislikes, behind doors with locks, our lonely rooms, our messy desks, our empty hearts, our sudden bursts of energy, our sudden bouts of depression. Don’t worry. Put away your mirrors and your beauty magazines and your books on tape. There is someone right here who knows you more than you do, who is making room on the couch, who is fixing a meal, who is putting on your favorite record, who is listening intently to what you have to say, who is standing there with you, face to face, hand to hand, eye to eye, mouth to mouth. There is no space left uncovered."
