4.17 It’s not that deep
When I was in college, I had what I always refer to internally as a “crisis of depth of character.” What did that look like for me? Well, for example, I was friends with some folks who liked to listen to obscure acoustic artists I’d never heard of. Folks who played instruments. Folks who read,…

4.16 Already ready already
I had a lot of titles rolling in my head for this blog post, including “Summer a-weights” and “Weight no more: summer is here,” and then I realized that wordplay with “wait” and “weight” really isn’t that funny. Huh. Self-awareness. How humbling. No matter the blog title, here’s the deal: summer is an elite season.…

4.14 Thank you for being a friend
I write a lot from the perspective of someone who struggles with both food and body image (because, well, duh. I am someone who struggles with both food and body image. Hello?! Have you ever READ my other blog posts?!), so today, I kind of wanted to switch that up. I’ve been rolling this idea…

4.13 The Curse of the Pirate Hunk
I was scrolling along a dating app the other evening, and I came across a gentleman whose bio said, “Let’s talk about the books we’re reading!” First of all, I love that concept. That’s a great conversation starter, and I was impressed with his creativity until I realized…well, I’m currently reading a corny, cringey, “steamy”…

4.12 Girlbosses get hungry, too
These days, we’re taught to respect the grind; respect the hustle. We’re encouraged to be “girlbosses,” and to “get this money” and “secure the bag.” We’re taught to go, go, go in order to be successful. And these days, lots of people are go, go, going and are really proud of everything they’ve accomplished. Let’s…

4.10 Happy, free, confused, and lonely
We’re happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way / It’s miserable and magical, oh yeah. Taylor Swift, “22” Hello, Upper East Siders. I’m back, and I’m better than ever. Okay, sorry. I just bought an HBOMax subscription and I’ve been watching the new Gossip Girl, so it’s a force of habit. Let me…

4.8 ‘Count to ten, take it in’ (the post-birthday post)
And when you’re fifteen feeling like there’s nothing to figure out / Count to ten, take it in, this is life before you know who you’re gonna be / At fifteen. Taylor Swift, “Fearless” God, do you guys remember T-Swift’s “Fearless” era? When pretty much every song on that album was a banger?! I’m being…

4.3 Go for a swim
Yes, I know it’s been a little while since I posted, but HERE I AM! BACK IN THE GAME! I KNOW YOU MISSED ME! This won’t be a super-long post, but I definitely want to celebrate and talk about small victories. I want to talk about Miami Swim Week. It made me emotional as I…

4.2 Coming to Terms: Body checking
Here’s the thing: I like to talk. I like to talk about my experiences and share what goes through my mind and open up the discussion, because if I’m feeling a certain way, then someone else is, too. So I want to start another little series for my blog that I can publish periodically that…

4.1 Hot Girl Summer, anyone?
I think it’s time for some classic Emma June wisdom. The weather is heating up, right? We’re starting to sweat? We’re starting to realize that wearing sunscreen is a necessity? That means it’s nearly time for… Summer attire. Swimsuits. Shorts. Tank tops. The works. I feel like I talk about the whole swimsuit-season thing a…
