Short and sweet

Has it been four months since last I wrote? In Vietnam, I heard about an Irishman that named his daughter the Gaelic word meaning “the light appearing on the ocean as the moon reflects on the waves”. I don’t know what the word was, but one day I want to find out because it’s how …

Being present, and homesick

It’s too much!!! All of it. To process and carry and write about. This is how my life goes – endless beautiful experiences that crush me with their gravity, so much that I can’t bring myself to…

Going rogue

Resistance. I am fighting it by writing right now. You’re welcome, future Megan. I’m sitting in the worlds most boring airport, Yangon International. It’s clean and pretty and has a duty free shop the size of Walmart but no cafes or food under $10 near departures. I only have the Myanmar kyat equivalent of $2. …

Going forward, backward, forward again

And thank goodness for her because I exploded my granola and yogurt parfait all over my self/seat/the aisle ten minutes after take off, and …

Going unapologetically

Well I’m starting this, now is as good a time as any. I just thought of what to say as I was walking home from the grocery store on this rainy evening but now seem to have writer’s block or cold feet or actually I’m just easily distracted. Okay I remember now: I’m starting this …
