this page serves as my way to introduce myself to you.
perhaps you find yourself wanting to know more about the
creator of this website, maybe you just like reading
about random folks on the internet, or maybe you see a
little of yourself in this site and want to see if reading
about me helps you understand yourself more. so,
let's talk about me, emma.
</p>
<p>
i'm emma, i'm in my early 30s, i use she/her pronouns.
technology and the web have always been core interests
of mine. most of my life i've found community through
the web. i've felt most understood and accepted by
my fellow neighbors on the web. this website serves as a
love letter to the expression i've wanted so often to
share with the world. the burning love i want to light
up the sky with. in my personal life i cam currently
navigating what it means to be me, and recently that
means i have come to understand i am a trans woman.
parts of this website with time will showcase the parts
of my identity i wish to share with you.
so that not only i feel understood,
but maybe you do to &lt;3
</p>
<p>
much of my adulthood feels like i've been catching up
with things other folks figured out about themselves
in their teens and early 20s. i don't mind though,
i'm simply happy i'm figuring these things out about
myself. i find that knowledge and understanding of myself
usually comes through knowledge and understanding of other
people, as most of my life i've not really socialized with
anyone that i would say really understands me
</p>
<p>
i don't mean this in a "no one gets me" kind of way.
genuinely i feel misunderstood until i've begun to seek
out communities and people that see things and feel about
things, in similar ways to me. i know, shocking i'm sure.
emma's learned she has to surround herself with people
who get her if she wants to feel understood, you'd be
surprised how far one can go in life without learning
this
</p>
<p>
i have a cat, named baxter. maybe you've seen his
homepages, maybe you've seen me gush about him in the
32-Bit Cafe discord server. whatever the case, it must be
said that i love my cat so much. him and i have been
through a lot together, and we look out for each other as
any human and pet that has formed a bond would. he knows
me well and i know him well. we both don't like loud
noises, nor do either of us really like dogs barking.
we both look forward to meals, though i think he has a
better appetite than i do most of the time. he knows the
value of relaxing, something i've only learned recently.
i hope to one day master his understanding of being
present, and being in the moment. throughout my life i've
had some wonderful pets that have allowed me to learn just
as much about myself as i did them. from birds,
to a rabbit, to wonderful dogs. you might like to read
more about my life with animals

music has been a big part of my life, both playing and
listening to it. the creative process of making music
and the discovery of new music to listen to is a healing
process in itself that has helped me through much of my
life. my tastes have shifted greatly as i've grown, and
i've come to love music i never once thought i would as
an angsty young teenager. you can read more about music
and my relationship with it <a href="/life/music">here</a>
</p>
<p>
in terms of other arts, i'm most drawn to photography,
and was quite into it as a teenager. i had a 35mm slr as
during the time film was still easy to get developed at
a store and film slr cameras were very cheap 2nd hand.
i would really like to revisit this hobby, in particular
due to a new found interest in birding. i'd very much like
to capture photos of all the fun birds that stop by during
the day for a quick snack. i'd also like to return to
taking photos of my most favorite subject, flowers.
flowers are quite beautiful, and the high resolution of
digital photography makes for stunning images.

how i want to pursue it

<p>
an early love of mine was computers and technology in
general. i have fond memories of looking at circuit
boards and imagining little cities full of streets and
buildings all connected working together. computers and
technology fed an early developed need to always know more
and to go further with understanding. there was always
something new to learn in a wide variety of topics. i
eventually pursued a degree in tech and worked for many
years in tech support, eventually parting ways with full
time work at the advice of a doctor. i still find a
fondness for tech, and am currently learning javascript as
i've always loved the puzzle solving programming offers.

technology throughout my life, you can do so

i think that's enough about me, i hope you've taken a
look at those links sprinkled throughout or maybe saved
them for later. if you wouldn't mind, i'd like to know
more about you! if you're up for it, you can send me an
