YOU do You dear one.... We will wait. You already have my address if you ever want to write long handed old fashioned, or just PM me I will listen... no judging allowed!
Hugs and good thoughts from your very first subcriber... and hopefully forever friend,Diana
😭🙏 Thank you so much Di, your words mean SO much. I'm holding these hugs and good thoughts close in my heart, and I would love to be forever friends. 🥹
Megan! This was so beautiful ❤️ I completely get blurting out everything to your diary. I see mine as a conversation with God and it's the best thing to ever happen to me. To be fully seen and heard with no judgement is the best thing ever!
And we're all here to support you. To be there for you. Whenever and if you have the energy to express (because even that can feel exhausting sometimes) please reach out? Love you as always!
🙏🙏🙏 Ooof a conversation with god?!... that is SUCH a beautiful/powerful framing... I'm going to play with that, too. To be fully seen and heard with no judgement is truly the best thing ever!
Thank you soooo much, friend. Holding this close to my heart. 🖤
Megan, you are SO brilliant! I just LOVE your writing.
You’re living under a misconception that a lot of us just say whatever we want, whenever we want. That’s a very rare thing, actually. I’m known to “speak my mind”, but I always hold back. (Sometimes my tongue blurts out things before my brain has a chance to stop it, but that’s not what I’m talking about.)
I think it takes more courage to recognize our masks and our fears and actually live with them than it does to just say “damn the torpedoes” and go for it.
You *are* a brave soul, Megan. To overcome what you’ve overcome and remain (mostly) sane is remarkable. You’re doing fantastically well. I think all of us can see at least part of ourselves in every single thing you write. Please don’t stop!
Wow... It's comments like this that help remind you of why you started all of this in the first place... I've been feeling, well, a lot of things lately and have been terrifyingly muted and struggling at the thought of writing and expressing lately, and honestly have questioned whether I should keep going.
I should keep going. Thank you so very much for your kind and reflective words that help me digest this topic from another perspective and remind me of my why for writing, too. 🙏
Sometimes we can just get overwhelmed with…. frankly, LIFE! You’re DOING it. Remember you have *friends* here, no matter what happens. When shit gets *real*, fall back on that.
Besides, this may be therapeutic, but this is a sidelight. You HAVE to work. You HAVE to take care of your daughter. We all love reading your writing, but you don’t HAVE to write. Write WHAT you want, WHEN you want. No schedule. We’ll be here.
do you hold back in therapy? (assuming you do therapy, which is $$ so I would completely understand if not) ... we need confessionals... but without any of the religious baggage and judgment and prayers... if you ever wanna chat... i live miles and miles and a country away...
Thank you for your kind words! 🙏 I (finally) have found a wonderful therapist who I really like (and yes, I would not have been able to even think about affording therapy a couple of years ago 🥲) and have been opening up but godamnnnnn is it triggering for me to open up about things I literally have never opened up about before.

Keep strong and keep writing... sorry things seem very tough right now.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the reminder to keep writing too. 🙏🙏🖤
