A millennial’s coming-of-age story
My name is Emily and I’m 30 years old. I’ve been writing on this blog in fits and spurts since I was 14, originally as “Blackbyrd” on blackbyrd.wordpress.com. I’ve long been enamored by the written word and have scribbled poems and sonnets in countless notebooks since I was 7.

I can still see Jordan and his friends, walking down the sidewalk toward Plassmann with their candles, whenever I hear this Read more
