Though she may come off as a bit abrasive, her raw emotional intensity is absolutely intoxicating; she can be a brutal force to be longed for, and to be reckoned with. She is a universally talent person and very self motivated which lead to her running her own business helping others who share the same feeling about literature. Never will you see someone so relentlessly hellbent on trying to find a balance to manage the psychiatric delirium and instability that hold her mind, and sanity, captive, meanwhile, still trying to selflessly help others with the same issues.
Aside from a her crude language and the fact shes not afraid to 'go there', her work can be viewed as humbling and honest. Emily is a one of a kind compassionate bitch, but her loud/in your face writing style will reek of stale cigarettes and ether, but wash down smooth like a cheap irish whiskey, which will distract you long enough to sucker punch you right in the face. The harsh reality of growing on your own, and to have to do so at such a young age, ignited the fuse that lead her to discover her talent for explosive means of expression.
So, if you dare, come experience the spirit breaking adventures of teenage homelessness, poverty, friends, death, depression, love, survival, playing music, skateboarding, heartache, psych wards, dysfunctional family, legal troubles, drugs, traveling, sex, DIY punk music scene, traveling,-- fuck, -you get the picture.
Playing tug of war with your own mind, it's a constant battle of depression, insomnia, anxiety, and bipolar/BDP vs. wanting to have a 'normal' life that doesnt make you want to pull your hair out or come off as a psychopath who cant control their emotions. This will ultimately be an everlasting struggle with oneself, and she knows that you just have to learn to manage and maintain, because mental illnesses dont just go away, but a little beer, music, a few good friends, and poetry make things tolerable...
