Transcript
This is Emma. Emma was one of the first friends I made when I moved to New York, and I've noticed that she has a lot of energy, like like a lot. The problem is that when she discovers a new interest, she gives it 100% of her energy, and everything else disappears. It's a phenomenon that I don't think she can control and normally it's impossible to predict her next mission. For example, when she was eight years old, Emma would direct all her energy to gymnastics. It was basically the only thing she cared about. Or when she was 14, she fell in love with her literature class. So she focused all of her energy on school. Emma wouldn't party. She needed to study. Or there was also a period of time where she was 100% focused on Harry Potter and growing her collection of gnomes. But after high school, Emma moved to New York and she started discovering things that she'd never seen before. Instead of gymnastics, and actually was obsessed with photography. So she started sneaking into the most exclusive parties in New York to take the most interesting pictures. Or instead of literature, Emma fell in love with fashion. So she used all her energy to open a vintage clothing store. Then she started designing her own clothes. Then she started interviewing some pretty important people about their clothes. But honestly, Emma's biggest obsession is still gnomes and Harry Potter.
