Face Value
Dermatological treatment may be slowly changing my face, but it’s rapidly changing the way I think about it. It’s been almost six months — wow, time flies!

Menstrual Cycling
“Isn’t it weird how your period transforms you into Wonder Woman?” my friend texted as my uterine lining erupted out of me like hot magma out of Krakatoa. Wonder Woman?

FEELING: A bit lost, to be honest. My internship is over, and I’m back on the hunt for a new…purpose, really. I’m doing pretty well so far out of the gate, pitching and sending emails and applying to jobs, but I’m frustrated because I want something to happen RIGHT NOW! WATCHING: So much reality TV….

BUSY BUSY BUSY
OH my gosh y’all I have been neglecting this blog. I think I’ve just been writing so damn much for everyone else (ha!) that I forgot to make space to write for myself. On that note, I’m particularly proud of a couple of my pieces, and I’d love to share them with you (also as…

FEELING: Exhausted! I’ve been looking forward to this post for a LONG time, because I feel like so much has changed and everything has gone by so fast! Like Holy Hell, we have a whole new room in our apartment! WATCHING: Sadly, I discovered a whole new season of Say Yes to the Dress I…
I’m Breaking Up With The C-Word: “CRAZY”
I won’t even say “crazy” to my therapist. Not just because it’s an ableist slur (we’ll get to that) but because I know she’s going to ask me “What do you mean by that?” She knows that word is bullshit. And now you will too. When someone describes something as “crazy, for lack of a…

Millennials
Me in 1987, full Millennial mode. Wearing a tiara like the princess I *think* I am. Typical entitled Millennial. My name is Meghan. I was born in 1984. I am a Millennial. I grew up reading Goosebumps books on the swing set in my suburban backyard, watching Chris Farley on Saturday Night Live on a…
Cummin’ Outta Nowhere
How do you talk to women online? I didn’t think it was so difficult, but my recent experiences suggest otherwise. Old friends – and I mean like friends from a decade ago – have been getting back in touch with me in a bad-touch way. What am I trying to say? This is a typical…
