Hey, I'm Emma and I'm an illustrator. My social media career kicked off working for a body-positive lingerie brand called Figleaves. Unfortunately, I was made redundant in 2021, which is when I started drawing and I haven't been able to stop since!

However, positivity and self-love still run deep within all my work, and my goal has always been to make others feel good.

I now share my illustrations on my Instagram (almost) daily to my 30,000 followers. Here are some of my most loved illustrations. I hope you love them!

Please continue to write. Writing poetry can be such a creative outlet and way to express yourself. As an older millennial, continue to do the things that make you happy and that you love. I gave up things that I really used to enjoy when I was younger because I was ridiculed for being "too geeky", but have now learned that there will always be people who may not understand your passions, but there will be one or two who do. So continue writing beautiful words!

    I really wanted the house I currently live in, and really wanted to do it up. Today I cried with the stress of the workmen and things going wrong (not even bad now I've calmed down). So this is very relevant as I read it through tired, post-cried eyes.

    Sadly not, because I feel like no matter how hard I work and through myself into my passions and goals I still can't get ahead. Also I never wanted to be born asexual and have ADHD as I'm ridiculed because of them. Being a human is so gosh darn hard at times.

    Bro, i needed this so bad. we need more people like this artist in the world. Someone who looks at what's beautiful and loves them for every inch of them. And not people who point out flaws and judge for them. no one fits the "social media standerds" because all of us are unique and beautiful in our own way and this has really inspired me <3

    I understand what you're saying but can I respectfully point out that even very slim women's bodies are real bodies. There's this idea that 'real women's bodies' are those which don't meet the thin ideal we see in the media. In reality, all women's bodies are real women's bodies:)

    The friendship that last are all based on each person gaining happiness from being around the other person and enjoying other people’s company. If they think you’re fake, they probably don’t deserve your friendship because they will not appreciate you. There is a lot of other people out there who will enjoy your company and not disrespect you, but remember that you are the one choosing who to be friends with, not the other way around 😃

    But the way we experience things is based on how we feel about them. It's not easy to dump all your former feelings and thoughts.

    This applies SO MUCH to mental health and chronic illness, especially for people who don't have the choice but to "fake it" so they can work to support themselves, and give up all their non-work time recovering from the effort it takes to fake it. If you are suffering with severe depression or other mental illness, or an invisible illness and chronic pain, and were able to go to work, get home, AND do something you normally can't because of how you feel, you can and SHOULD be proud of that. If you are too sick to work, but got out of bed and fed yourself something, or took a shower, that's an accomplishment to be proud of. The success and progress you make shouldn't only be celebrated when it's tied to money or being slim or anything to do with capitalism. Progress of any kind when you are struggling to survive is something to be proud of

    I used to hate my thighs as a teenager since almost single girl on our cross-country team had very thin thighs and legs. I would always try to hide them on the bus after a run. Now, I have learned to love them as they are incredibly strong and help me in so many sports including rowing, running, hiking, and martial arts. I love feeling athletic and strong.

    No. This seemingly harmless belief has caused *so* much suffering... hard work doesn't always equal success, and thinking that it does leads to the belief that unsuccessful people are "just lazy." She worked hard, yes, but luck was a factor.

    I'd like to know what's wrong, in your mind, with wearing red nail polish and high heels. Just because men can't keep it in their pants doesn't mean women have to conform to societal norms. Also, who the f**k is attracted to red toenail polish? When guys chase girls, they sure as hell ain't lookin at her damn feet.

    I disagree...I think a glow-up is just an increase in confidence, not anything to do with looks. And yeah, when you're not confident, you're going to be sad and a bit dull. AND THAT IS OKAY. I AM NOT RUSHING YOUR JOURNEY. All I'm saying is that a "glow-up" isn't a rude comment--it's people appreciating the pivot point of your inner journey. That's all.
