Emily

Bio: Emily Poole is a 16 year old girl that loves coffee and leaves, has problems talking to anyone besides herself, and has contradictory opinions to almost everything.  She spends her time thinking about doing things and not actually doing them and also petting animals and listening to music and reblogging pictures of trees on her blo.

1.  What's something you know you do differently than most people?

At least to some extent, I think a little differently than most people. I absolutely love thinking and I'm alone a lot of the time so I have lots and lots of time to just enjoy everything the human mind is capable of on its own.  I also have an appreciation for small things and things outside that a lot of people don't seem to have (ex: eyelids, streetlights, leaves). Also I seem to procrastinate more than most people, especially with homework; I just don't see the point in it. And not in a "homework is stupid" way, but I just think about how I should do my homework and then I think about how one day the earth won't exist anymore and doing or not doing my homework seems like the least important thing to think about. I feel like I'm also more affected by things in general than most people, I'm very empathic and emotional so I feel like a shaky little leaf a lot. 

2. Do aliens exist?

There are so many fucking stars that I think "aliens" most definitely exist and I define aliens as living things that originate from somewhere other that earth.  I think they're probably more similar to earthlings than the general alien stereotype, and they probably wonder about us too.

3. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?

The first thing that comes to mind is that I would wear more "out-there" clothes, even though my style now is already a little different from the norm.  I would make music and post selfies and send people videos of me doing things (a lot of the things I want to do, I could probably do now, but I have problems with my image and I'm uncomfortable with people looking at me but especially in picture/video form). I would also talk about my beliefs more because currently I keep my mouth shut about a lot of things I feel strongly about (mostly because my opinions would offend a lot of people at my all girls catholic school lol).

4. What are you most afraid of? Do you know where that fear stems from? 

I'm most afraid of not being being wanted/needed by people.  Eh I think it stems from human doubt and our need to feel important but I've never felt fully needed and I'm afraid it will never happen.  I'm also afraid of car accidents, people in masks, and pain.  I think I have a little anxiety so I'm a little afraid of everything.  Except airplanes, I fucking love flying in airplanes.

5. Do you identify as part of a group? (ex: feminist, pacifist, philanthropist, etc.) 

I definitely Identify as a feminist (though not a very good one because I tell all of my friends that their guys should worship them yet I have the worst self esteem and act like I'm an exception to "girls rule" attitude).  I don't know if there are groups for these but I consider myself to be open-minded, poetic, plant-loving, and generally on the side of the underdogs.

6. What do YOU want to make of your life? 

As for what I want as an occupation, I have absolutely no clue.  There's nothing I'm really good at more than other things, and I'm really afraid of getting stuck in a boring office job and hating my life.  Besides that, I want to make an impact on people's lives that makes them see some good in the world, whether in myself or in anything they come across.  I'm not sure if I want kids or not, but if I do have kids, I want them to love themselves and have a respect for anything worth respecting.
