Never stop being the best version of yourself. Many will try to change you. Many will find ways to convince you that you are not good enough. Many will try to let you believe that you are too broken to be loved. Don’t let that thinking keep you from shining the light God put inside you. Instead keep fighting the darkness that is trying to destroy you. Only you can fight that darkness. Only you have the power to keep fighting. Stay strong. You are not alone. ~Emma~

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?
One- waking up in the morning no matter how crappy I feel waking up makes me happy.
Two- having my first cup of coffee in the morning makes me happy.
Three- spending time with my mom and dad as they get older I know how precious the time we have left is. I don’t take any of that for granted.
Four- my sister. She is my best friend and even when we fight and she doesn’t understand me I know she will always be there for me regardless.
Five- every morning I wake up I thank God for each new day and for the strength to get through it. At night before bed no matter how tired I am I always sit on my bed and just talk to Him. It might sound weird but I never once think He isn’t there with me. I talk to Him like he is the only one that will ever truly understand me. He is the only one that will ever truly love me the way I am. And honestly that is the happiness moment each day I have.
How would you improve your community?
In the mental community I would like to keep spreading positivity and trying to encourage others to seek help. Many don’t seek help because they are afraid of being labeled. Also they will be considered weak. Not to mention the amount of people that refuse to get help because they will lose their right to bare arms.
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
I started paying attention to politics right before Trump got elected. But after COVID the tyranny I saw happening during that time by some of our politicians really changed the way I view freedom. God gave me my rights not the government. Politicians have the power We the People give them, it’s time for We the People need to take the power back. Because it’s clear the government can’t help us. It must be our responsibility as Americans fight for our freedom and our rights. I also learned during the COVID thing is life is short and we must embrace the beauty of life before it’s gone. Be the change you want to see in the world.
Mental health
Honestly I am so sick of this attack on anyone that calls out mental illness. I refuse to be silent and I refuse to allow others to tell me what they think I should say. I have suffered for many years with mental illness. It’s not my fault y’all want to continue allowing ppl to step on you because you refuse to call it out for what it is. A turd is still a turd no matter how pretty you dress it up. You talk about compassion, you speak about being kind well allowing a mentally ill person to not get help for their delusion isn’t compassionate at all. You are part of the problem you are the reason many won’t seek the help they need. Afraid you might offend someone at least be honest with yourself. This isn’t about helping it’s about being afraid of what others will label you. Well I tell you as I sit here writing this you can call me whatever you like. I refuse to allow anyone to put me in a box or label on me. I am not afraid because God has my back. The fact that y’all can’t even call a mental illness for what is it makes me know for a fact y’all are on the wrong side of history. There is nothing wrong with being sick it’s about getting help and finding ways to deal with life in a healthy way. If you can’t speak that truth you are completely in the darkness and there is no helping you. Not because you can’t get help but because you have chosen to stay in the darkness. ~Emma~
Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?
Their soul, and I know some might think well you can’t see someone soul. But I disagree with that you see some ppl shine completely different when they have a beautiful soul. It shines on the outside and you can clearly see it. In the way they do things, the way they speak you see something you cannot describe that makes them outstanding.
Posted a new video on YouTube
So I posted a video on YouTube and I want to make sure that I am extremely clear. This isn’t about hate this isn’t about anything other than mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help. I am just highlighting the fact that changing the definition or changing the meaning doesn’t change the outcome. It doesn’t help to continue perpetrating your own narrative to fit in your box. People need to know to get help for any mental disorder. By changing reality you are not helping the situation, you are making it worse. Please I ask on behalf of the mental health community that we all stop allowing for this narrative to continue. It will only harm the community it keeps “saying” it is trying to save.
Live each moment
So many times we get struck in the wheel of life. Get up each morning, take a shower, go to work, eat dinner, spend time with the fam, go to sleep and repeat the next day. It is those times we forget easily that each moment in our life is precious. We aren’t promised tomorrow. So tonight I hope you kiss your love ones and remember today might be your last. So embrace the beauty, the little moments, the time you spend laughing and enjoying time with your loved ones. Each moment embrace with love and live each moment like your last. Have a beautiful night and a blessed week. ~Emma~
Thoughts at 2am
We are reminded once in a while to take a step back and remember no matter how bad things are for us they could always be worse. We think we suffer but true suffering like being tortured, beaten or even starving exists while we complain about little things that annoy us. In the end we should always be grateful for what we have, not what we don’t. Does it minimize our own pain I don’t believe so. I think by saying life is short just enjoy it, does belittle your own pain. But there is a grain of truth in the statement. Life is short and we don’t get much time here why spend it on things that cannot be changed. I do love with all that I am but sometimes some people and somethings are not worth the pain or even the time to care. Let it go it’s not worth chasing something not worth your time. Don’t waste time on things or people that aren’t worthy of being with you. Let it go. ~Emma~
Words to live by
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it. Take that as the motivation that you need to change your direction. Remember the greatest fight isn’t with others but yourself. Prove them all wrong! Don’t ever give up keep going. Keep believing in yourself.
