About/Meet Ben
Hi! I'm Ben. Resident Emokid. Speaker. Street Musician. Dad to an awesome little girl. 

I really like making playlists, connecting with other people, and sharing content. Some more "emo" than others. I like dialogue and being creative. 

I created this just for fun website for grownup emokids called, IUsedToBeEmo.com.

A website dedicated to fun, music, and adulthood - mental illness, parenting, relationships, and more. For all of those grownup emokids out there - past, present, and future.

We're not making fun of Emo, just having fun with it, because after all: Grownup Emokid = Hipster. :)

So, have a look around, and if you wanna hang out, just ask. 
Be kind, and well.
