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…

Early Grief
Cw: grief & violence. Last night I got so depressed trying to write a little something about inner child healing. I decided not to write it at all, and got no words in yesterday. I ended up just really missing my mom and worrying I’ll never be able to tell her story or do her…

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.

PTSD Triggers
CW: Trauma, homicide, ptsd. This morning was spent on the phone making dr’s and neurology appointments for my partner. I love making phone calls, but it’s always such a hassle dealing with insurance. I also did some work tasks and was motivated to write! Go me!

#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.

An {unexpected} new beginning ❤️🔥
Well, well, well, ANOTHER new beginning. This time was not by choice. A few months ago my first blog got flagged for spam of some sort. I don’t understand the notice I got, it said all kinds of weird stuff, but they won’t let me link my blog ANYWHERE on instagram. Not even written out…

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.
