So time to be sappy on main.

The top left picture was taken March 12, 2015. Two days after making my Emma blog. I was about to graduate high school and go to college, leave the nest and be independent. Hoping to start my career in acting. 2015 was one of the hardest years of my life and one of the most emotionally traumatic. My first college boyfriend wasn’t a nice person to me, to be vague. 8 months of my life was taken up by him with my only escape being tumblr as I made the dumb mistake of getting him into my colleges theater program.

Throughout these years, through ups and downs, tumblr and Emma have been there for me.

I got married this year. I never even imagined myself having a wedding, let alone finding someone who balanced my weirdness with a nerdy grounding in science. I went from being taken advantage of by the theater system where I was interning at (80 hrs a week with being paid only $150 and no housing accommodations) where I met my future husband because I had no time to meet people so I downloaded hinge at 11pm in the stage managers booth and he commented on my Carmen Sandiego cosplay, to being jobless during the pandemic and trying to figure out where I fit into the world. Theater didn’t exist in lockdown, not the way I knew it. During lockdown was when I got my first acting role outside of college. I was in a short film and it won an award.

Since lockdown, I did retail and now work a stinky corporate job. Most importantly, though, I’m doing what I wanted to do since I was a child. I’m auditioning and acting on camera. I’m a lead role in an indie film (top right photo was taken on set last weekend) and have a few other projects that will hopefully be in the works. I’m able to actually try to learn about my mental health and learn who I am and try to grow from the trauma I’ve endured. I am in such a different place than I thought I would be in 2015 and I’m so proud of myself.

2015 Shannon, hoping you were going to make it and do acting, you’re doing it. You are working towards your goal and learning to love yourself. I like to think you’d be proud of me, and I’m so proud of what we’ve become and what we are going to continue to grow to be.

9 years and counting.

He'd come to visit her out of the blue. To be fair, out of the blue for Seth is more a weekly occurrence. He would find times to visit her if she wasn't able to trek to visit him at La Push, make those silly cute puppy dog eyes at her when asking if she knows when she'll be up next and that he'll wait to see her then, only to show up two days later with a board game and blueberry muffins that are almost the size of her head (made by someone who Seth was close with? Emma doesn't know all the details but she knows that apparently his friend really likes to bake.)

This particular visit was of course during one of her less than stellar health days. Her eyes appeared more sunken in and her energy was not on par with her completely one hundred percent days. She wasn't completely sick, not in the sense that she would need to isolate to battle a cold or something off, but more in the sense that if she didn't rest it could lead to complications in the future. She'd burned herself out, is what she thought to herself, not that she was coming down with something. She was well enough that her father wouldn't turn Seth away at the door, so she was able to receive visitors. Seth had noted that she had a rather impressive blue record player with a few vinyl albums that she'd acquired over the years (and that she had bought from her father's store at a huge discount because nepotism discounts).

Seth brought over at least five records with him this time. Apparently Will saw Seth walking up from his workspace and went and opened the door before he made it to the front, as Emma hadn't heard any knocks or a doorbell ring. He nearly had her jump out of her skin when he made himself known at her doorframe, records in hand and bubbly personality exuding off of him. For most of the afternoon, they'd listened to the records he'd brought, talking about the stories behind how he acquired the records (some of which might've been fabricated to hide the fact he bought them online a couple days prior) and the significance--if any--to the songs on them. They sat next to each other on her bed, fingers ever so slightly grazing over one another in a hint of contact. They kept leaning closer and closer as they spoke over each song until, their lips close to one another as Emma waxed a poetic over a song, he interjected:

Lips pursed before being sucked between her teeth, creating space between them as the moment was completely ruined.

❝ I mean... ❞ Hands gesture towards the oxygen tank at the side of her bed, ❝ Chronic illness does indicate that it is... long term. So...
