1) as always, really enjoyed reading this! i’m a big fan of your narrative voice :)
2) YOU BETTER GET THAT JOB!!!!! OR ELSE I’LL BE DOWN THERE!!!!!
3) excited to see the dress! charity shopping is always a hit or miss for me so i’m glad you found something good!
4) i am eternally grateful to be a member of the 106 club
5) i also relate to feeling stagnant on here, i haven’t really had much growth since around july/august. but i’m sure that with time you’ll only keeping growing upwards! it seems to be more about making relatable notes that go viral on here than actual writing content
6) re paid subs: i think do it if you want to, i don’t think that there’s any rules for it. i’m considering doing it eventually but more as a way of people supporting me if they want to, but they don’t get extra content if that makes sense?
7) uniqlo do amazing quality socks (all my pairs have lasted me years of daily wear) and for cheap too, i think they do like 3-4 pairs for £15 or something like that? yeah so hugely recommend!
EMMA!!! As a proud part of the 106 I look forward to you 'clogging' my inbox every week <3 and omg the copywriting thing sounds so cool, I hope they love your writing as much as we do and you hear back soon!! And please keep us updated on the dress, finding something in a charity shop that fits properly is the BEST FEELING!!! Also for what it's worth, I don't feel like you're oversharing, it just feels like I'm having a chat with a friend every time you post <3
HI EMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ditto what em said, i hope you get that job and that the lady who told you about it LUVS your writing as much as we all do!!!!! i want to come back and read the article you linked about your ocd and trauma, so thank you for sharing it. you of course know i will relate to at least parts of it; ocd can be so lonely and difficult to describe in a digestible way to people who don't get it but i promise you, i get it and i'm here for you.
regarding the followers: I AM PROUD TO BE ONE OF THE 106!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love your blog and want to say that some of the BEST pieces i've ever read in my life had very few likes or were from small accounts. i know that doesn't help much, but quantity of engagement is NOT the measure of whether or not something is valuable or worth reading. i hesitate to say "the right people will find your page!!!!!" because i hate putting faith in or giving credit to the alg*rithm, but i do hope this for you because i know it is what you want and therefore it is what i want for you.
grace your comments literally make my week - thank you so much for existing, your words are like sunshine ☀️
Knowing that you know what ocd is truly like means so much to me. It’s such an isolating disease and I hate it. Anyone going through it deserves the biggest hug in the world ❤️
you are so sweet! I have decided that I’m truly not going to focus on subs now because the beautiful people like you who comment on my posts are the best part!!
I REALLY hope you get that job!!! Also, I don’t know if it makes you feel better but I had 20 subscribers after 1 month on here, and still less than 100 after 2 months. Recently my number went stagnant for 2 weeks and I had the same thing as you where I’d gain one then lose one. Growth on here is really weird but a handful of people who look forward to your writing (myself included) will always be more valuable than those with hundreds of sub for subs. you’re smashing it 💗
Em this comment means a lot to me, thank you ❤️ subscribers on here are a really fickle thing! I’ve come to a conclusion that I’m not going to focus on subscribers anymore, because the wonderful people like you who do regularly comment on my posts are worth 600000000 subscribers!! Thank you for being on here and being so kind!❤️
I love your shares, nothing about it feels like over sharing to me. You are keeping it real for all of us out here trying to do the same. And if a few extra nipples keeps people away, then you never wanted them here in the first place!
Hi Emma, beautifully written as always. The image of the fledgling is very powerful. I so hope you get that job, it sounds ideal for you. And if not that one, maybe there will be another, even better one! Also, that cushion! I haven’t ask you where you found it, it’s my kind of cushion 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Niamh! Thank you so much for commenting as always - your comments always are so precious to me! I will absolutely keep you updated on the job! I found the cushion in a little boutique - it was an eye watering £75, but in another universe, I could afford it and it would be sitting on my couch!
"Like Jenga, but trauma version." I feel this to the T LOLLLL you also reminded me that I need to get some socks, I keep losing them to god knows where
Very hopeful about the ethical skincare business. That would be such a cute ending to your job search 💗. And if it’s not the one, it’ll be something even better…
doing a list because i have a few things to say:
1) as always, really enjoyed reading this! i’m a big fan of your narrative voice :)
2) YOU BETTER GET THAT JOB!!!!! OR ELSE I’LL BE DOWN THERE!!!!!
3) excited to see the dress! charity shopping is always a hit or miss for me so i’m glad you found something good!
4) i am eternally grateful to be a member of the 106 club

Ellen your comments get more wonderful every single post! You are the sweetest and most thoughtful ever!
1) thank you so much!!!💚
2) I HOPE I GET IT TOO! OTHERWISE YOU BETTER GET DOWN HERE 🫡
3) I’ll be sure to post it in my next Confessional, just for you! 🧡
4) I am eternally grateful to YOU!
5) I completely agree - I think the key seems to be posting some picture of Carrie Bradshaw and letting it go viral!
6) I think that’s what I’ll do too! I don’t feel like I will turn it on just yet, but I am grateful to hear people’s thoughts on it!
7) this is VITAL information - thank you ❤️

This is just the most wonderful comment - thank you so so much ❤️ I’m so glad it doesn’t come across as too much over-sharing.
