So this might seem like a bit of an odd topic for me to blog about, especially considering how open I have been about my desire to be a more positive person. I want to make it clear that I think striving to be more positive is a good thing. We are, in general, fairly negative people. We spend more time talking about the things … Continue reading The Trouble with Positivity
Someone (who will remain unidentified) asked me to help explain depression to a loved one, and I was hesitant. It’s not that I lacked the desire to help them, but rather that I felt I lacked the expertise. First problem I see is that depression is different for each person, there are a few shared symptoms, but how they manifest and to what degree changes … Continue reading What Depression is Like: How I Feel
There are certain pros and cons to working from home. One of the biggest cons is actually related to many little cons; it’s that you can develop and stick with bad habits. It’s easy to throw yourself off, not having a routine, welcome distractions, little things that over time build up to massive problems. I have been thinking a lot about my habits with working … Continue reading Working from Home and Habits
So the issue of people and their “relationship” (for lack of a better word) with food is something that is usually on my mind. It’s there, in the back, kind of poking at my brain a little. Sometimes things will happen, and it will be brought forward and become more of a focus. This is something that has been happening a lot lately. Some factors … Continue reading Megan’s Thoughts: Our Relationship with Food
I am not a mental health professional, and in this case, I am also not a relationship expert. I write according to my own experience and share it because I feel it can be helpful. It’s helpful for me to get it off my chest, and might help others to know that someone else out there is going through something similar. As always if you … Continue reading Couples with Mental Health Issues
As always please note that I am not a mental health professional, and so you should know this before reading my mental health blogs. In my channel, I try to have a pretty open policy about discussions with mental health. As someone who suffers from various problems, and someone who has struggled a great deal in the past, I want to be a sounding board … Continue reading The Problem with Absolutes and Advice
I’ve gone back and forth about ever getting my thoughts down on this issue for many years. It seems like it goes through cycles of how much people do or don’t care about it. It’s something that is always in the background but every few months will spike, and suddenly everybody cares again. I have a lot of thoughts about it, and I have gone … Continue reading Megan’s Thoughts: The So Called “Titty Streamer” Problem
I wasn’t sure about doing another post like this after just doing one for George A. Romero, however, I needed to get the thoughts down so here it is. I warn you that this will in part seem slightly dismissive and that is not my intention, just my honest feelings on the situation. Over the last few years, my relationship with Linkin Park has been… … Continue reading Thoughts on Linkin Park
My relationship with the horror genre has been… odd. As a kid, I was curious and appreciated horror, but scared easily. I remember reading a book about ghosts in grade school and having nightmares for years as a result. I loved Goosebumps but hated them. I moved from there to my teen years where I went through the pretty normal stage of liking gory, over … Continue reading Remembering George A. Romero
Many years ago I was talking to a friend who is much wiser than I and guilty pleasures came up. Now I can’t remember the entire context of the conversation, but it was simply about how she had heard/read and agreed with someone saying there should be no guilty pleasures. That pleasure for the sake of pleasure is fine, and the idea that guilt or … Continue reading No Such Thing as a Guilty Pleasure?
