We all have issues, if you think you don't you definitely need to see a therapist

I (sometimes) get really excited to go see my therapist. It's a time for me to say and feel whatever I want and my feelings are heard and nurtured. Who doesn't like being held (emotionally) like a baby and knowing someone cares about you and your thoughts. That's why I love therapy - it's my time to talk about me, my anxiety, stresses, ups and downs without judgement and usually I get great feedback to work through it. 

Don't let the mainstream culture tell you how weird it is or how "bad" it might be to have a therapist. We all have issues that need help to manage. Just accept it and your life can only change, for the better. 

Everyone should have a go-to therapist like they do a dentist, or general practitioner. Mental health is stupid important and you have to take care of yourself. If you're just looking for help to get to where you need (and deserve) to be, then a therapist a great start to your new life.

It's such an amazing feeling when someone can help you see the world differently and bring a fresh  perspective to a situation, especially a shitty situation. We all get in the heat of the moment and get caught up in our emotions, but those who can help, step in and rescue you from that chaos, is a damn blessing. Those people should be cherished. 

I say therapist in a general sense. Your friend, your mom, your dad, your brother, your lady/man, etc. can help you see the world in a positive light if you are in a dark place, then those are the people you want in your life - those who truly believe in your happiness. 

I really felt like shouting out the people that help those in need and give back to how blessed we are to have the lives we have. It's cool to take some time, breathe (feel the breathe) and appreciate what you have, not what you want. 

I learned something today-  when you're working on a project, either work it or don't. Don't go 1/2 ass on shit. 

One love,

Social media is something that I love because it's conversational. There are so many interesting topics that people bring up on Twitter and Facebook, that is where a lot of people get their news and it connects people with peop

It's cool to share your life with others, but I wonder if people actually share how they're really feeling. There are definitely a certain few that I know that post real feelings and emotions consistently, but 95% of the rest of my friends on Facebook posts happy and cuddly content. I'm not mad at it, I love happy shit, like baby photos, food photos, etc. I just prefer to see more authentic content from people that have a bad day, disliked something their friend said, or whatever. It's social media, not happy media. I personally would find it cool, do you? 

I am outtie 5,000. I have an interview with Twista on Thursday and I am geeking out so hard.

It was all a dream, until I started to believe in myself.
Dreams become a reality the second you decide it's feasible. There are too many sacrifices I can label, but I chose not to put out bad energy in to the universe - I love what I am doing every single day. Is there stress and anxiety, of course, but I love it. I simply want to impact people's lives to inspire them and motivate them to pursue their dreams. The Scott Emo Show is my platform to do that. I am so lucky to have our team, our guests and too excited for what the future holds for us. 

I realized you don't have to have the most innovative idea to make a living off something you love - you simply need passion, commitment, willingness to fail and strong support from your close circle of friends. 

What you put in to this world is what you will get out of it. To me, that doesn't mean work 24/7 (even though I do), but do things with a purpose, a cause and put your heart in to it. Never do things half-ass - you are wasting your time and your colleagues. 

Here's the greatest thing about life: We have the choice to do ANYTHING we want. YOU are in control, YOU are in the driver seat and YOU get to make the ultimate decision. Let your consciousness guide you to where you belong. 

Be nice. Be gentle to yourself. Be patient. It will happen as long as you're open. 

All love,
Scott Emo

I had the amazing opportunity to speak to kids (first graders and eight graders) at a Chicago charter school in Bucktown today. My friend, Erica who is a first grade teacher, asked me to speak to the kids on career day - and it was such a honor that she thought of me. I had no idea what to expect, but I had a blast with the kids telling them my story and getting to know theirs. 

After talking to three different classrooms, Erica asked if we can do a mini-talk show with her students - so we totally did! The kids came up, I got to ask them questions like: What's your favorite ice cream flavor, your favorite color, do you have brothers and sisters, etc. Then, we thought it would be cool if the students (first graders) could interview each other. So we brought up some kids to ask each other questions about their lives. It was so cool to see them interact, hear their interests and it was remarkable to see how genuine they were with their responses. 

Kids are incredible and now that I have one on the way, it excites me that I can tell kids that they can pursue their dreams if they believe in it enough and willing to commit to their craft. I want to travel to hundreds of schools and inspire kids across the globeI I can't wait for that day to happen - the day we can reach millions of people that can benefit from our message, but we are VERY happy just influencing one person for now. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
