Emily Vernem

Like, hey, guys, me and my mum would like to let you know that I'm moving home.

I love venting.

I love venting so much.

If I have a dinner with friends, I'm like so excited.

Sometimes I write dot points of all the things I want to hit because I don't want to miss out because there's also certain friendships like you can vent for certain things about.

Like if I want to vent about my friend's boyfriend, I can't vent about it to her.

I have to vent about it to some other people.

If I want to vent about work, I can't vent to you guys.

I have to vent to my other friends.

I think it's such a nice outlet.

And also too many rules on friendships.

I'm getting really, really confused now because now I can't talk about my dating life because I don't pass the Bechdel test.

Oh, it's true.

And then I can't talk about work because I'm centering my work too much.

And now I'm scared that we're all just going to end up having friendships like men.

where they don't know anything about each other.

But do you also think by talking about like stuff as deep as that, you're also opening the door for them to also help you if you need it?

Yeah, yeah.

Because I feel like when you have those kind of conversations, then you go home and then they might send you a link to a physio or something like that.

I think the venting that people get frustrated by is if it's like the same problem happening over and over again and that person's not doing anything to help them.
