Biography
I'm a creative. I'm a dreamer. I'm a philosopher. I'm a stubborn optimist. I write because I'm not passionate about writing. (I'm not much of a reader...more of an auditory learner.). I write because I want to share me in any form. Writing is just another orifice. I means to scratch that itch to create or discover my core. So it becomes another pleasure in life to indulge the senses and to seek truth. I'm writing on this site because I'm on a journey that is pulling me to it. I have 30+some pocket-sized blank-paged journals all filled up. But to be really known by others is to know yourself. Being honest and open with others as you truly are takes the courage to accept by yourself as imperfect. That climb--that struggle to accept yourself as less and less perfect is yet the very process to love yourself more perfectly. Because perfect love loves imperfect people. Writing here means exposure, vulnerability. But that pain felt is pride dying, and it's suffering is it's death. I kill my pride and my perfection. I lean in towards the eyes of others to be seen, but to try to see myself. I could fill up pages of 30+ books but left in the dark doesn't make it bounce back to you. When I had a friend over to paint, she said my place was "magical." Since then, that one word "magic" STUCK with me. It's the feeling you get when something is special and makes you slow down to enjoy that moment. When you sit back and think, "I'm going to cherish this." I want to give that to others and surround me. But I'm not going to fit into the mold. Being imperfect means letting myself not hold myself to imposed structures, and give up to allow for thoughts to flow.
Planet Megan
You can find my newsletter and the hub to all I make at planetmegan.com I newsletter called Planet Megan began in 2009. For two years I sent it to family and friends IN THE MAIL. I always try to grasp what we're missing in life. A tangible letter in the mail is a special nostalgia we don't get anymore. Instead it's 20,000 emails. For eight years I gave Planet Megan newsletter a break, but friends & family kept asking for it backI... 10 years later in 2019, I decided to write again. I want to keep the nostalgia of a paper newsletter, but I also host it online.
