hi

i'm emma and i'm 20 and i like trees and sunshine and animals great & small (especially dogs) and cuddling things. mainly being outside and looking at things that make my eyes big and head quiet. i also like being silly. if u can't tell

i'm doing a masters in international health at the university of leeds in england (which is REALLY interesting and i enjoy very much). I studied psychology before but don't worry I can't read your mind and even if i could i would respect ur privacy dw) (working on them psychic vibes). i'm working towards a job in the mental health sector of international aid for an NGO but i will very much have to grow up a bit first

i believe in magic and happiness

i'm the one holding the jar of peanut butter in the picture with immense pride. i am a big fan of peanut butter &nutella digestive biscuit sandwiches. if we meet i'll give you one and it'll change your life FOREVER

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

this one time i was born and am still here to this very day

i also went to sri lanka a couple of years ago and worked in a psychiatric hospital, as well as teaching english to all age and abilities of people, particularly people with disabilities and learning difficulties. it was a really eye opening experience, in so so many ways, but particularly in terms of how much love and joy and appreciation can be found in people who have so little, who's society gives them so little. i might have taught the amazing people i met some things but they taught me so much. i hope one day i have the chance to go back and see the progress that the incredible organisation i was working with have made (SLV they are fantastic).
