What is Emotional U?

Hi, I’m Susie Bean Breitbart — a writer, artist, mother of 4, sister, daughter, lover and friend all at once, and often in revolving order depending on the day.

Through writing and creating art, I strive to maintain my sanity while making sense of all the moving parts involved in what it means to be human — most of all, what it means to be me.

In this particular essay series, I aim to explore a comprehensive selection of our human emotions through an excavation of my own personal memories and experiences. It is my goal to emerge from this exercise, or this “school of thought,” not necessarily with a Degree — but with a degree of heightened clarity and understanding about the contents of our inner worlds. Should you choose to follow along, perhaps you’ll learn a thing or two about yourself along the way.

Thanks for stopping by. If you enjoy what’s here, I hope you’ll consider subscribing and also coming back again down the path.
