Who am I?

Hi all, 

Welcome to 20-Something Ventures. I'm Emma, the voice behind this blog. 

I'm not entirely sure what to say here about who I am and why my life might be meaningful for you to read about, because I don't have all the answers. I hope to still share something valuable through my experiences.

Let's start with the basics. I'm 20 years young (hence the name), studying at community college with hopes to transfer to university within the next year. I still live at home with my father, and work when I can. While I don't have many friends, I do have a partner who has been a significant part of my life for the past few years. My best friends are two cats, who I hold dearly to my heart. When I make the time, I enjoy playing the guitar and going to the beach, as I've been blessed to live within an hour of the coast. All in all, I'm still learning the ins and out of this world, just as any other 20-year-old.

I find myself somewhere between an introvert and an extrovert. I struggle with anxiety and wouldn't consider myself extremely confident, but I'm not someone who always keeps to myself either. I can't say I know myself completely, but that's partly what this blog is for. I journal in my free time, writing whatever my heart and soul tells me, and I think it's time to share these thoughts and experiences with those who are to read them. 

Thinking too much is both a blessing and a curse. Maybe I don't think too much; maybe I think just like you, just like everyone else. Now that I am writing however, I realize it's harder to talk about myself than I thought. What about me might be significant to you? That's a difficult question to answer. I don't know you, or the choices you've made to end up here, reading about a random girl you know nothing about. Maybe everything is meant to be. Maybe you were meant to end up here. Maybe not. I don't mind either way. What matters to me is letting go of these thought I hold onto day by day, year by year, without an ear to hear me. So maybe, you can finally hear me. 

I'm fascinated by the brain, consciousness, and how we function on this place we call Earth in an infinite universe that's ever-expanding. I'm curious about what brought us here and why we are the way we are. I'm an animal lover, and find myself smiling bigger than ever at a random dog walking across the street or a rabbit I see run by, probably scared that I might hunt it down. I'm also fond of writing, expressing my thoughts in a way that only I can, and learning about myself through these words. 

All I can say now is thank you for being here and reading my words. I hope you find some peace and relatability in what I have to say. I'll finish this "about me" here and hope I've made a good enough impression for you. Someone, somewhere, might not like what I have to say or care to read about who I am, and that's okay. I don't hope for anything different because that's human nature. If this is all you will read of me, then I wish you a healthy, happy life, peace, fulfillment, and a positive attitude toward your life and being. Till we meet again, or not. 

Emma
