The Good Death
CW: homicide, violence, grief I haven’t posted here in over a week, ahh!!! Bad Megan! I did do a few patreon posts about how ptsd has been showing up for me, and about how my mom’s murderer might get out in 2025 and how that’s affecting me. Oh, and I also found her hospital papers…

I wish my trauma made me more badass…
I have always tried to make my vulnerability, my sadness, and my sensitivity my super power, but I’m tired, ya’ll! I would much rather be an ass-kickin baddie like Shauna who can scare anyone and really knows how to get shit done.

Work that has helped heal me…
Whew, what a day today was. It’s 8pm and I just had two iced coffees, oh my! I am feeling hyper. Perfect time to write. I did not write yesterday, but I gave myself a buffer day by writing on Sunday, so I’m still on track.

#CampNano begins…
So, today begins #CampNanoWriMo. I’ve got my candles lit, my cozy coffee shop youtube music in my headphones, my crystals all around me. I did a very nice tarot reading before this that made me feel a lot better and prepared for this week. Bring it on.

What healing means to me
{cw: Violence mentioned} Someone asked me on my Ask Me Anything – talk to me Tuesday IG story what healing means to me. Such a good question, and it made me pause. I guess I haven’t spent too much time thinking about what it means to me.

Valentine’s Day Joy
I had the loveliest Valentine’s Day! For many years prior Valentine’s Day has been hard because it really makes me miss my mom. I can’t believe it’s been 16 Valentine’s Days without her. She used to always make it so special for me and buy me chocolate covered strawberries every year. Even though I was…

How to find Queer Joy ❤️🔥
It can be tough to be a queer person in this world. While society has made such great improvements in many areas, we still hear so much negativity all the time. Not to mention that people are still literally losing their lives over being queer. It’s a lot to take in. No wonder it can…

I’ve got a big heart, and I’m not afraid to use it…
So, Mother’s Day just passed. I hope everyone had a neutral day at the very least. If it was great, even better! For me, it’s a tough day… which is to be expected for someone who is both Motherless and Childless.
