welcome to a thoughtful place

after two years of making meaningless content for traditional social media platforms that don't care for anything other than their users' next hit of quick dopamine (and even my own), i've grown rapidly disllusioned with the idea of the modern internet.

those nagging thoughts that had been lurking in the back of my mind ever since the internet began to change - "isn't this so corporatized?" / "why is this better than geocities?" / "the idea of an 'algorithm' kind of creeps me out" - finally burst forth in my mind in late 2024.

while i still have to make videos to maintain my corporeal form (ugh), i've decided to make a more concerted effort to make things that actually matter. this site is a part of that project - not only for my brand, but for my life.

so thank you for joining me. let's be thoughtful. let's be purposeful. let's make sure the things we do have meaning.

i don't think i can change the world, but i do think i can change my own life. and if i change even one other along the way, it was all worth it.

i'm emma. welcome in.
