ReplyDeleteYou're good with an instrument in your hands, so the world desires that too
Your tummy is fine
Beefcake Emma
Hair grows on it's own, so give it time.
I cannot offer assistance in the cuddle buddy department
What song? by who?
Talking to people IRL is nice.
I actually don't think you upset about nothing.
Emma, you can do it! and if you can't you can do something else!
I can send you a sweatshirt
You already do share your passion for music with people.
If you really want to live there, you can eventually.
You do excel and you will have a career.
Emma, you should wear awesome outfits when you want. If you're looking good with purple tights than people either won't notice or if they do they'll like it xD
Girl needs job
Girl needs job again
Just sing damnit
Me too
Dude, can we talk about jaw pain sometime? My jaw hurts sometimes and is all weird a lot of the time
Pain sucks.
Reducing stress in others is kind of difficult especially if your Sister is just naturally a worrier. Just do what you can and be supportive.
Just talk about Corgis and foxes and giraffes and cellos and then wish them the best of luck xD
My mind doesn't have that correlation between independence and fear.
I know that you'll have a dog as soon as you can
Patience on the tattoo front
Make some f'ing tea then
I'm sorry that your body is defective. Demand a refund from your parents.
Everything works out (even it's not in a good way) and everything ends up being okay, because otherwise life would be just impossible.
Emma, you are wise and selfless and I like you a whole bunch. Some might even say that I... um... love you. Anyway, apologies if this comes out as patronizing
Not patronizing at all, it actually made me laugh multiple times and I really needed that. I particularly enjoyed "Beefcake Emma" and the image it summoned xD
DeleteAs for the song, it's kind of a stupid story and I know it wasn't directed at me but sometimes my ego needs it to be and it's a thing that doesn't really matter anymore. And the independence/fear debate centers a lot around marriage and children as they do or do not apply to me.
