Hello All.

My name is Megan Marie and I have been writing for as long as I can remember.

From short stories about an imaginary cat traveling to outer space in the 3rd grade — to self publishing a chapbook of poems in 2019 — I have always felt more at ease when words flow through me.

I am a childhood trauma survivor. I have struggled with my mental health for half of my life now… A sinking reality and that never fully sets in. But this route in my life path led me to take solace in my writing once again. My journals overflowed and my tumblr blogs were spammed with angsty poetry. But I had an outlet. I had an escape. One better than the self inflicted hatred I was forcing on my body. I was piecing together the shattered bits of myself, pieces that I thought had been irreparably damaged. And I was learning to tell my own story.

In my search for relief from grieving the lost parts of myself, I found my own spiritual path. Gaia is my home and the Moon is my girlfriend. I pray to nature and trust the tides of time. I specialize in tarot and energy work and I have always had a passion for research and expanding my sources of knowledge. There is so much wisdom and beauty to be found in this world. And I hope to explore it all.

I have finally gained the courage to expand my shared writings to my essays and long-form verse. I leaned into micro poetry for the sake of the algorithms but it was always a glove that fit a little too tightly. I love to ramble, I love to string words together, I love to use semicolons and comas with reckless abandon (and maybe a parenthetical from time to time…) and, oh, the elipses; and, of course, the Oxford comma. I will always be an English major at heart. This language fascinates me. 26 small characters in a never ending string of combinations coming together to form styles of unique expressions. Enthralling. Truly beautiful.

I am at a precipice in my journey. My nails are bleeding from my grip slipping off this jagged cliff face. But I am determined to hold on. I am determined to climb this mountain. I am determined to write my way out of my self proclaimed labyrinth. I am determined to write my way home.

So here I am, and here we are. I am embarking on a new journey of self love and discovery. Who am I when I learn to trust myself? Who am I when I enforce the boundaries that make me feel safe? Who am I when I vocalize my needs? Who am I when I try to heal? Who am I when I feel whole?

I’m here to do the work. I’m here to find out.

So thank you, for reading this far and for maybe even tagging along on this journey. Your support in my mission of self love is wildly appreciated.

Thank you for being here…
