Be You, Not Them
Do you ever find yourself aimlessly scrolling through social media channels to discover that you're getting increasingly miserable? It is a feeling that your life doesn't measure up to those you follow or some random person who invades your explorer feature. You can't help but feel like there must be something amiss in your life that you aren't going to exclusive parties or traveling to picturesque locations. Sometimes your thoughts might be, "what do they have that I don't?" Or you see someone that exudes an enormous amount of talent and skills, and you feel like you were standing in the wrong line as you received talents and abilities. Congratulations! You're normal, and I'm here to tell you that it is entirely okay to feel like this. And I also to say to you, stop it right now! Because you're doing more harm than good.

Fake it till you make it!
A swirl in the pit of the stomach manifests. A simple day of joy & productivity can easily change into a dark cloud of thunder & shower. I take a breather & lay as if I were to meditate. I look deep within myself & reminisce. Questions that usually pop are ones that unnecessarily define who I am. These questions don't describe who you've become, but help understand what you have to offer. What you give to yourself is to be the best version of who you are.

Remind Yourself You're Going To Die One Day
The average lifespan in the United States today is 27,375 days. That is what is deposited in your time bank when you are born. Every day you make a withdrawal of 1 day. When the days run out, you die. Your life is over.

An Ambivert's Guide to Isolation
"Hey, Megan," you're probably thinking. "what the hell is an Ambivert?" Well. An ambivert is someone who falls in the middle of an introvert and an extrovert. "Surely the two dynamics of introvert and extrovert are enough," I hear you cry, "people can only be one of two extremes!" I think most people would actually idenfity as an ambivert more if they knew about it. An ambivert's main idenfitying aspect is that they do enjoy being in a crowd or group of friends depending on the context but also have the limit of a social battery. It is the very definiton of the phrase "I came out to have a good time and I'm feeling so attacked right now." This isn't about the definition of an ambivert, though.

Addicted.
We are addictive as humans, as we get addicted to humans just the same. I love the way people think and explain their perception of this life, of this world we all encounter. We all want loved and adored and cherished. We react within emotion and whether we receive what we want. We fear abandonment and even isolate, once we face the reality of being alone. There’s a comfort in knowing you can live with your love and only your love.

Humour as a Coping Method
One of my favourite things about my generation is that the vast majority of us use humour to cope with our problems. We make jokes about things that aren't funny, but laughing at the situation makes it easier for us to deal with it. I absolutely love that this is so widely spread and accepted, although out of context it can definitely make you sound like you're out of your mind.

Why I moved far away from home (The Journey Alone)
Have you ever heard this quote? The grass is always greener on the other side... Speaking in metaphor for a moment, My journey starts with how I compared my life to others quite often, always looking over the fence. Not out of lusting the materialistic things others possessed. But...I did it because their grass was greener than mine, so, how did they get their grass that green from just watering? It was trying to understand how they watered their grass.

Do You Deserve?
Head spinning and thoughts exploding, life feels like it is going nowhere in this moment that I’m experiencing. Feelings of failure come crashing down, making my eyes begin to close and tears begin to flow. Shame creeps in, saying, “Who am I to succeed?” Feeling not worthy of much, still I push my luck and again I end up in the same spot.
