When I was about 13, I had a meeting with a counselor. One of her first questions for me was “how long have you been emo?”
I wasn’t sure how to respond to that, this was the first time someone had called me emo. Before that moment I never really thought about it. Was I emo? How long HAD I been emo? What does being even emo mean? I don’t really know, I think it's a way of the heart...
