I'm Emily, a thirty-year-old woman who's recently moved to the city after spending my entire life in a small town out in the countryside. I've always been fascinated by the world beyond our little community, and now that I've finally found the courage to leave, I feel like I've opened up this whole new chapter of my life.
I grew up in a pretty traditional family - my parents were high school sweethearts who married young, had me and my younger brother when they were both still in their early twenties. My dad was always working multiple jobs to make ends meet, while my mom stayed home to take care of us kids. We didn't have much money, but we made do with what we had.
As I got older, I started to feel stifled by the small-town life. Everyone knew everyone else's business, and it seemed like there were always rumors flying around about someone or other. I longed for something more - adventure, excitement, a chance to make my own way in the world.
So, when I turned twenty-five, I decided to take a leap of faith and leave home. I packed up what little I had and set off for the city, determined to start fresh and build a new life for myself.
That was five years ago now, and it's been quite the journey so far! I've held down various jobs - waitressing, bartending, even working as an administrative assistant at one point. But nothing has ever really stuck. I keep getting this itch to do something more creative, you know?
Lately, I've been thinking about going back to school and studying graphic design or maybe even photography. Those are the things that truly get me excited - creating art and telling stories through images.
But for now, I'm just trying to figure out who I am outside of my old life. It's scary being on your own in a big city, but it's also incredibly liberating. What about you? What brings you here today?
